Yes, Dmitry introduced some pattern derivations that require 3.81.

See configure.ac: it tries to test-compile a minimal piece of code,
and relies on GCC's exit code to see whether the respective -mmcu
option value is acceptable or not.  GCC currently has a bug in that it
doesn't correctly report an error status if the -mmcu option value is
not actually supported (GCC bug #45261); instead, it relies on the
assembler to fail.  So if your binutils support a device the compiler
doesn't support, the decision will be wrong.
