The question was specifically for the binutils version, if you want to
use the z10 instructions with you standard C/C++ applications you indeed
will need a new gcc that makes use of the z10 instructions. The code is
in the gcc SVN but we did not finish the patches in time for gcc 4.3.
You'll either have to use the upstream variant of wait for gcc 4.4.
