Well, I there isn't a released GCC that uses the new interface yet, so
that's a good reason not to start gratuitously whinging about the old
interface.
However, I do think the testsuite should be changed.
There's transition latency problem here -- I couldn't change gcc until a
binutils with the new interface was enabled; now it is (at least, I'm
assuming it is), we can move GCC to using it; once that's out we can start
to more aggressively deprecate the old interface.
