 Binutils
 --------
 
-Linux on IA-32 has recently switched from using ``as86`` to using ``gas`` for
-assembling the 16-bit boot code, removing the need for ``as86`` to compile
-your kernel.  This change does, however, mean that you need a recent
-release of binutils.
+The build system has recently switched to using thin archives (`ar T`) rather
+than incremental linking (`ld -r`) for built-in.o intermediate steps. This
+requires binutils 2.20 or newer.
