HEADS UP binutils Gold Removed

The binutils in our ports tree was the last binutils to support the Gold 
linker. A previous exp-run for 2.45.1 showed us that a number of ports 
failures were due to the missing linker.

I've decided to import binutils 2.47 into ports. I think the path forward 
is to address ports failures due do the removed feature.

Do we want to rename the current binutils to binutils244 and import 2.47 as 
binutils? Or would going "cold turkey" be advisable?
