Just the used binutils version it was based on is pretty old, even without the
changes for the package review. The latest binutils Rawhide release:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=63802
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/rpms/binutils/devel/
> Would you prefer this version to go upstream?
This is your package, you should like it. :-)

Without some rocket science of automatic rebuilds etc. I think it is simple to
register for watching the CVS commits of each other:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/binutils
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/avr-binutils

Yes.

IMO not worth the problems.

It is based on an old upstream release (not the H.J.Lu's snapshots).
On the other hand the Fedora binutils patches are mostly arch-specific and
therefore unrelated to SPU. Still they do not affect the SPU build anyhow.
