No, it isn't. This has come up a few times already just in the few days
since 2.4.17 came out. Depending on your kernel configuration, you may
still run into the same problems that people were having before. It may
well be that this crops up with 2.4.17 less than it did with previous
2.4.x kernels, but it is still there.
There's no need, however, to go as far back as Potato's binutils. The
unstable/testing binutils from late November (2.11.92.0.10-4) seems to
work; I haven't heard of any problems from anyone using that version. It
can be found via a search at tuxfinder.org; and I have it as well, in my
Sid not-quite-latest archive (use a web browser, not dpkg, to access) at
http://crdic.ath.cx/debian .
