binutils 2.20 gone missing?

Wasn't 2.20.1 just to correct a packaging issue? Or am I remembering another .1?

Hi Nick & Clifton,

I'm trying to reproduce a toolchain from source to the point of being
able to produce binary identical output from an tag of our sources.
The toolchain used to use 2.20, so that's what I was going for. I
wanted to know why 2.20 had been removed. I.e. was it an accident or
was there some serious flaw with it and it was recalled. In that
latter case I need to think about whether we really DO want to produce
binary identical output or rather get the benefit of not having the
flaw. (whatever that might be).

An alternative explanation could be that you guys never released a
2.20 in which case I have to start researching more where we got it
from.

Cheers,
Seb
