RFE: binutils's "notes" entry should specify which ports exactly it causes to fail to build

Description
Right now binutils comes with the following "notes" entry in its portfile:
"Having ${name} installed will cause some other ports to\
fail to build. Consider uninstalling ${name}."
I'd like to know which ports exactly these are, or at least have a link to a Trac ticket or something, so I can be better informed about whether I should actually follow this advice to uninstall it or not.

So it's just due the assembler then? It looks like the current version of the binutils port no longer builds the assembler though...

Trace mode largely mitigates this problem anyway. If we keep the message, we should re-word it to encourage using port -t in case of build failures.

According to "
svn blame" I added this note to the portfile in r67114 in response to #22681 and #24617.
