Hi Nick,

2.26.

The convention is that a released form of the binutils has a version
number of X.XX or possible X.XX.N.  The current mainline development 
sources have a version of X.XX.50 where X.XX is the latest release.
(So the current mainline sources are version 2.34.50).  When a release
happens the XX value is incremented by one as part of the release
process, and the .50 is dropped.  (So the next binutils release will 
be 2.35).

So 2.25.51.0.4 is a development version which will then have been
released as binutils 2.26.

Cheers
  Nick
