I think the biggest issue is that while the releases of binutils and gcc are not in sync, the repository HEAD versions generally are. The suggestion has come up multiple times that when a release of either project happens, there should be some attempt to synchronize it with some release of the other. For instance, GCC 5.1 should work with binutils 2.X, and vice versa. But, I imagine that the users that would benefit from that synchronization are few, and priority of the synchronization task is rather low. In truth, I doubt that there is anyone both able and willing to do it. But, I'm sure you could try.
