* doc/install.texi (Specific) <cris-axis-elf>: No longer
@command{configure} option when configuring GCC@. The default is to
use traps on systems that support them.
-The assembler from GNU binutils 2.17 and earlier has a bug in the way
-it sorts relocations for REL targets (o32, o64, EABI). This can cause
-bad code to be generated for simple C++ programs. Also the linker
-from GNU binutils versions prior to 2.17 has a bug which causes the
-runtime linker stubs in very large programs to
-be incorrectly generated. GNU Binutils 2.18 and later (and snapshots
-made after Nov. 9, 2006) should be free from both of these problems.
