You can see the current toolchain testsuite status at 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Toolchain .  There are 
some failures there that I am still looking into, but nothing to be 
concerned about...

One binutils issues that people may want to keep an eye out for is 
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12327 .  This only 
affects people building kernels with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (not used in 
the Arch kernels) who will get a boot panic.

Other than that, the binutils update seems relatively issue free.  I 
have been running it on my system for the last week while waiting on the 
glibc and gcc releases without noticing any issues.
