The snapshot-date is from sjhill and is outdated. I use the
gcc-4_2-branch, c, c++, fortran frontends work fine. If one of those
fails, i'm interrested in hearing about it (at least about c and
fortran; c++ lacks uClibc++ integration/support so isn't interresting
for me and i don't have spare-time to look into it).

binutils should be fine, too. I use HJ's but 2.17 should work, i
seldomely use it, though.
gcc-4.1.2 works (or worked when it was released, at least).
I, personally do not use binutils < 2.17 nor gcc < 4.1.2 ever, fwiw.
