One more thing in addition to Slavek's comment. Even using the development version (R14), whenever binutils is updated you
need to update also the package libr0, which has a strict dependency on the binutils version. Updated packages can be found on Slavek's repository:
http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/ Given the reasonable stable state of pre v14.0.0, I would suggest you also
update from tde 3.5.13.2 to pre v14.0.0.

That has let me upgrade binutils, and it all seems stable so far! Had to change kde to tde in some of my scripts.
Thank you for your help, folks. For reference, here is the relevant bit of /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb jessie main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/ jessie main-r14 deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/ jessie deps-r14 deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/ jessie deps-r14
