Yeah one day we'll be able to drop them entirely, but not yet.
The official minimum is 2.20: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/changes.html
But my "old" toolchain is binutils 2.22, so that's effectively the minimum for anything I test. I'm not sure many people are actually testing with 2.20.
