Also, I don't know of any distro that officially supports systems that are not fully updated.
wrong, Debian, Gentoo, Frugalware does for sure (and probably others as well).
So, if I want to use binutils 2.18 with glibc 2.4 then these are the distributions to use... To clarify, I meant that no distribution will support partially updated systems, in that if the current version of "package 1" does not work with an old version of "package 2" but it does with the latest version, the solution to a bug report won't be update your system. As I outlined in the original email, I could see many package incompatibilities like this happening if pacman could upgrade part of the system. That is why I don't like the example command given for the --nonew option.
