+ help
+ Linaro is maintaining some advanced/more stable/experimental versions
+ of binutils, especially for the ARM architecture.
+
+ Those versions have not been blessed by the binutils comunity (nor have they
+ been cursed either!), but they look to be pretty much stable, and even
+ more stable than the upstream versions. YMMV...
+
+ If you do not know what this Linaro stuff is, then simply say 'n' here,
+ and rest in peace. OTOH, if you know what you are doing, you will be
+ able to use and enjoy :-) the Linaro versions by saying 'y' here.
