Let's keep them in sync? Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/changes.rst Either way. Acked-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> grepping for binutils shows lots of potentially stale references to even older versions of binutils.

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.
