(In reply to commit-hook from comment #22)

base/binutils/pkg-plist.sparc64 and
base/binutils/pkg-plist.powerpc64 list:

bin/as
bin/ld
bin/ld.bfd
bin/objcopy
bin/objdump

This appears to imply that the README's sparc64 example lines:

2/ cross build world
make CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=sparc64-gcc TARGET=sparc64 TARGET_ARCH=sparc64 buildworld

are intended to be based on (implicitly or
explicitly) WITHOUT_BINUTILS= so that the
files listed are only from base/binutils .
This is likely because the system binutils
are insufficient in some cases for the likes
of, at least, powerpc64.

WITHOUT_BINUTILS= is the default only for arm64/aarch64,
riscv/riscv64, and riscv/riscv64sf according to the
man src.conf that I'm reading.

(It turns out my normal/historical cross-builds include
the system binutils by not having been explicit to avoid
such, both for system-clang based builds and for
powerpc64-xtoolchain-gcc based builds: Not the best way
to test base/binutils use. My test target-context here is:
powerpc64.)
