Yes, please upgrade.  IIRC, most of the features you asked about aren't
supported in Binutils 2.8.1.

As for version 2.9.5.1, if you ask about specific instructions (by their
name), it is easy to tell you if it's supported (there's a single file in
Binutils sources which lists all the supported instructions).  You asked
about broad classes of instrucvtions which I'm not sure what they refer to.

Most of the instructions you mentioned are supported by Binutils 2.9.5.1,
IIRC.
