Subject: binutils: multiple crashes

Description:
binutils are a collection of binary tools necessary to build programs.

After the post on oss-security from Thuan Pham I was interested too into the fuzz of binutils to see what will happen…Here are the partial 
results (I didn’t run the fuzzers against all command-line tools):
