Other *linux targets specifically mention
# Force .init_array support. The configure script cannot always
# automatically detect that GAS supports it, yet we require it.
gcc_cv_initfini_array=yes
and thus involve binutils. Can you please change the comment

be good to mention those in install.texi as minimal versions given
they are not trumped by already stricter requirements.
Otherwise I think this is OK.
