If there are bugs in binutils then definitely post bug reports in the 
binutils Bugzilla database (technically, Red Hats' sources Bugzilla 
database. Set the product to binutils):
<http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/>

The maintainers of the AVR port in binutils are the same maintainers for 
the GCC port:
Denis Chertykov       
Marek Michalkiewicz   
Take a look at the MAINTAINERS file in the GCC CVS here for their email 
addresses:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/MAINTAINERS?rev=1.385&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup>
