Please note Rawhide binutils now supports custom %binutils_target:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-July/msg00209.html
(in binutils-2.18.50.0.9-5.fc10)

rpmbuild --define "binutils_target spu" -bb binutils.spec

But still there is no such prebuilt spu package in Fedora.  Linker now supports
spu as a secondary target on ppc* 455242 but for example gas does not have the
spu support there.

While it would be most straightforward to build the binary packages out of the
main binutils package it could be equally done even for avr and other targets
which does not scale much.  Does it make sense to just %define binutils_target
and build spu-binutils from the main binutils package?
