My statement was in response to a concern expressed by Matthew that a 
change to binutils would require rebuilding every single package:

I was trying to make the point that he could fix the tools (as you seem 
to prefer), but that binaries that have already been built will still 
work. They can be rebuilt at leisure (or not at all).
