[aarch64-port-dev ] Binutils version for Fedora 20

[Juan Jose Fumero]

Hello, 
   I am trying to build jdk8 aarch64 version [1] in the SICSA OpenJDK School. 
My OS is Fedora 20 and GCC version is 4.8.2  In order to build hsdis-amd64.so we need 
binutils. Following the instructions in the repository there is a binutils version 
according to the aarch64 code.  But in fedora 20 it doesn't work. So we changed to a newer 
version of bintuils in order to build hsdis-amd64.so correctly. We linked with the version 
2.23 [2]. This version compiles and works.

Apart from that the following extra packages are needed:

* Texinfo
* Flex and bison
* Flex-devel and bison-devel
