At least on my Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion there is no linker installed by the binutils @2.21 port. AFAIK, most tools of the GNU binutils only target ELF, so it would not be useful for development for Mac OS X anyway. The tickets prompting the addition of this note are describing problems that some ports failed with binutils active due to use of the GNU assembler which does not produce Mach-O output: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/22681 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/24617 At least on my system, there is no /opt/local/bin/gas installed by binutils.
