h8300-coff is dead and removed upstream. You are stuck with binutils
2.16.x, unless someone writes a new h8300-coff backend for binutils.
Someone asked about sponsoring these packages, and I offered to do it, but
when I asked about what he planeed to do with the fact that upstream removed
h8300-coff, I never heard from him again.
BTW, h8300-hms is just an outdated alias for h8300-coff. Hitachi doesn't
make H8* uCs anymore, all of them are now made by Renesas (who bought whom I
have no idea whatsoever).
h8300-elf is still alive upstream, for what is it worth.
