SubjectRFC: x86: kill binutils 2.16.x?
binutils 2.16 (and presumably its prereleases, binutils 2.15.9x) appears
to have more bugs than any other version of binutils released in modern
history, *before or after*.

We chronically run into problems because that particular binutils
version breaks code that works fine elsewhere.

I would like to know who would suffer from formally discontinuing
support for that version. I understand some version of SLES shipped it,
but I don't know for sure.
