 to find out the proper way to upgrade it.  No, the instruction to "rm
 `which encaps`" is not a joke.
 
-   The last public release of the binutils 2.8.x series was 2.8.1.0.23.
-Binutils 2.8.1.0.25 to 2.9.1.0.2 are beta releases, and are known to be
-very buggy.  Binutils 2.9.1 (note the absence of a suffix) from the FSF
-should work, and binutils 2.9.1.0.7 and later releases are also good.
-Either use binutils-2.8.1.0.23 or binutils-2.9.1.0.7 or later.  Glibc2
-users should especially try to use the 2.9.1.0.x releases, as they
-resolve known issues with glibc2 and binutils-2.8.x releases.
+   You must use binutils 2.9.1.0.7 or later. Latest release is 2.9.1.0.25.
+Beware that binutils 2.9.1 (note the absence of a suffix) from the FSF
+does not work. If you are upgrading from earlier versions, you should
+consider upgrading to the latest 2.9.5.0.x release.
