And are you using eglibc-2.16 built with binutils-2.19 in runtime on some
targets?

My point is that if upstream developers decided to support binutils-2.20+
only, they probably had some reason to do it and failing configure check is
better way to show you're building unsupported combination then something
failing badly in runtime on target.

This commit also doesn't say why..

Cheers,
