Is an exact version of binutils needed to install a new nvidia-kernel-dkms?

[js jb]

hello,
When upgrading nvidia-driver, does one need to use the exact version of binutils that was used to build the kernel or can one use a newer version?
The problem is that it doesn't take long after installing a new kernel for new versions of g++ to require a newer version of binutils, so keeping the one used for the kernel blocks that line of upgrade.
I believe at one time one had to use the same version of linker as used to build the kernel but not sure if that is still true today.

thanks for any clarification,
--jack
