Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation: raise minimum supported version of binutils to 2.25.1
Date:   Wed, 31 Aug 2022 04:08:10 +0900

Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.

We already require GCC 5.1, which was released in 2015.

Bump the binutils version to 2.25.1, which was also released in 2015.
