I don't think binutils are guilty here. I tried gcc-2.8.1 under DJGPP 
with both binutils 2.8.1 and 2.9.1 and there were no differences as
in both variants tests were Ok. With egcs-1.1 in both variants I 
have failure I mentioned before.

Under Linux I have installed binutils-2.9.1.0.13 and tests with egcs-
1.1 worked Ok. 

I also tried compiling test example under Linux with Linux to 
DJGPP cross-compiler (also egcs-1.1 + binutils-2.9.1) and got the 
same results as with native compiler under DJGPP.
