2.17 doesn't have support for it either, yet has support for fxsaveq

from that Documentation/Changes continues to state binutils 2.12

Documentation/Changes (maybe) reflects the minimums across all
architectures, which really has never applied to any single architecture
for a long time. x86 requires gcc 3.4 at a minimum, for example, and it
is not clear that that is sufficient anymore, either.
We don't really have good documentation about what the requirements for
various specific arches are...
That being said, it sounds like this one is justified.
