Sometimes binutils are committed to trunk, but not merged back for testing
purposes. 

Moreover this hasn't already been the case in the past. Prior to 2.4.x, not
everything was merged through trunk, this was particularly the case for
release related stuff, so fixes could easily contain more recent binutils. 

This improved during the 2.2.x releasecycle, and starting with the 2.4.0
fixes branch everything was done through trunk.
