If 2.14.90 does what you want, use it.
Hopefully, I will upload a new RC of binutils (2.15.94)  next week.  It has a
lot of intel-syntax bugfixes in it, plus better support for weak linkage (still
not perfect but very useful to me anyway). Plus the assorted bugfixes that have
accumulated since last mingw release.
