Just FTR, I do my day to day development and testing on Debian
unstable, which means I build (several times a day) without any issue
with (right now):

 gcc version 5.3.1 20160101 (Debian 5.3.1-5)

and:

$ apt-cache policy binutils
binutils:
  Installed: 2.25.90.20160101-1
  Candidate: 2.25.90.20160101-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.25.90.20160101-1 500
        500 http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
