i386-mingw32-binutils: update to 2.21

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

ld from current version (1.19) of binutils in mingw32 segfaults when cross-compiling and including dll library. Apparently a newer version fixes the problem.

I would like to request a new version of binutils (probably 2.21) that apparently fixes the problem.

Thank you.

I have just learnt how to create my own ports and have tried to just replace the version (I'm sorry; the "-2" is ugly, but I just wanted to see if it works). So the difference between 2.19 and my new local 2.21 is approximately the following:

version			2.21
...
distname		binutils-${version}-2-mingw32-src
worksrcdir		binutils-${version}
use_xz			yes
extract.suffix		.tar.lzma
checksums		md5     f75122b3d253cc9054dc82d90c10455a \
			sha1    64e48bb360387c0de606d75fe878aa16d4843d37 \
			rmd160  9b27b8537e1764e75ac3510a6393a728dcb99b9c

I left the rest intact ... and ... yay! The package compiled fine and now cross-compilation works without segfaulting.

I'm sorry about CC-ing. I had no idea how bugreporting works exactly. I just saw a nice "CcMe!" button and I clicked it. (Maybe the button should be removed for the author if it is not needed, but I guess that nobody cares about that anyway.)

I don't know whether Trac gives us the flexibility to do that.
