Further remarks:

* The upstream for binutils sources is
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/binutils/
http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/

You are packaging H.J.Lu's linux fork of the linux-binutils. IMO, you are badly
advised to package them for non-linux targets.


* BuildRequires: libtools
Superfluous.


* BuildRequires: flex and bison
Likely to be superfluous - Nominally, building binutils does NOT requires them,
except that there exist some broken versions of binutils which (due to bugs) do.
I haven't checked what applies to this version.


* This is not correct:
..
%{name} does not include any documentation (info / manpages) because these
would conflict with the native binutils. Please see the docs for the native
binutils, so instead of "man %{target}-as" use "man as". For additional docs
also see: %{_docdir}/binutils-%{version}
..

You can ship all section 1 man-pages, they do not conflict.
