And I've now done that (having waited the half-hour for the fsck of the old machine to complete.) It appears that several of the binutils commands weren't transferred to the new machine from the old machine. That's now fixed - and it suggests that there isn't a version of binutils which missed out on this command, so I think we can go with the original patch.
