Hi,This doc patch informs the user that a specific (or higher) version of binutils is a prerequisite for the fix for a rather vexing bug (PR 71151) that was fixed for 6.2.

Maybe mention that also GCC 6.2 or higher is needed? After all, it's a bug in the compiler and using respective Binutils without a fixed compiler is pointless...
