One version of binutils had a bug where it would put
junk at the end of assembly language files.  I think it was
2.9.5  I upgraded to avoid that problem, and to be able to easily use the
new instricutions.

Currently this code is set to only be used on a P4.
We are writing code in assembly.  Not having tools that
work on the machine is a royal pain, so I figure updating binutils
is worth it.
