If the idea is to remove the powerpc64le specific check, why 2.27 instead of 2.26?

Or are they other constraints that requires a > 2.27 binutils? The goal is not to remove the 2.26 check but avoid adding a 2.27 check. Binutils 2.27 was the first version to support POWER ISA 3.0 instructions. IMHO, we could require an even newer Binutils version. The last time we bumped Binutils requirements was in 2017. However, as I mentioned in the v1 [1], I haven't seen any benefits in requiring Binutils 2.30 (Jan. 2018). We would be able to remove an extra check if we went to Binutils 2.32 (Feb. 2019) because of the ARC port, but I'm afraid that would be too restrictive.
