FYI, the current (arch independent) default binutils version is 2.22,
not 2.24.

We moved from 2.21 to 2.22 back in october:

    binutils: default to 2.22
    
    2.21.1 is getting quite old, the linker issues with 2.22 seems to be
    (mostly?) sorted out by now and armhf needs 2.22+, so let's bump the
    default version.

Time has perhaps come to move to 2.23 or 2.24, I don't really know.
