Ok, I think that it's a good time to end this discussion, so thanks for all answers.distributed with version 3.x of GNU utilities?
[...]I was thinking about one of the latest versions.

Sorry, I don't really understand your question. Do you have any particular version in mind? Or do you have a particular problem which might be solved with one of the later versions? Understanding your problem would probably help us to answer you more precisely, or even solve the problem.
No, I don't have any problem with version, with is currently distributed with FPC. But IMHO the latest version is usually better (fixed bugs, new features, etc.). Really, I was thinking about version 2.14 (not 2.1.4!) - as I know, It's the latest version of GNU utlis. But I think, that I got answer for this question:
"[..]FPC has slightly different needs than GCC, so the older version might be perfectly useable for FPC although it might be outdated for GCC."
I understand, that currently distributed version has everything, what FPC needs, and newer version won't change anything. Am I right?
Yes, another issue is that building GNU binutils for go32v2 (djgpp) and win32 (mingw32) is most of the time not working out-of-the-box. So unless we really need to migrate to newer versions we don't spend any time on building them.
