binutils/binutils: 2.23.2 is a 2_23_or_later (ie. has gold)

Thus spake Niels:
This commit adds support for binutils 2.23.2

http://crosstool-ng.org/hg/crosstool-ng/rev/bc4b36e3df0c

However, in 'config/binutils/binutils.in <http://binutils.in>' the
Kconfig option to select this version of binutils does not automatically
select the symbol 'BINUTILS_2_23_or_later'. This makes gold unavailable
for the latest version of binutils. I'm not sure whether this is on
purpose or not, my impression is that you forgot to add the line "select
BINUTILS_2_23_or_later".

The problem still persists in the latest version in the repository
(032ebcc89c96).

     1 This is a somewhat ordered TODO list:
     2 
     3 Recurring tasks:
     4 
     5 - update versions for every tools...
     6 
     7 - update and/or upgrade all samples
     8 
     9 
    10 Non-recurring tasks:
    11 
    12 - update newlib (for enhanced bare metal)
    13   - confirm existing implementation on targets other than AVR32
    14   - try to make it generic, will help for uClibc++
    15 
    16 - multilib
    17 
    18 - Cygwin target (needs newlib)
    19   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Cygwin
    20 
    21 - Cygwin host
    22   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Cygwin
    23 
    24 - mingw32 target
    25   - so we can build toolchains that generate code for Windows/Win32
    26 
    27 - mingw32 host
    28   - so we can build toolchains that run natively under Windows/Win32
    29     (without requiring Cygwin)
    30 
    31 - uClibc++
    32   - see newlib, above
    33 
    34 - uClinux
    35   - check whether we can use newlib under uClinux (?)
