Since this was a minor follow up patch of

https://lists.rtems.org/pipermail/devel/2018-January/020072.html

and Joel already announced the Binutils 2.30 release I thought that it 
is ok to check this in without review.

Ok, then I misinterpreted:

Now you have to edit

tools/rtems-binutils.cfg

if you want to update the Binutils. For GCC you have to update

tools/rtems-gcc.cfg

or very unlikely

tools/rtems-gcc-m32c.cfg
tools/rtems-gcc-or1k.cfg

For Newlib you have to  update

tools/rtems-gcc.cfg
tools/rtems-gcc-m32c.cfg
tools/rtems-gcc-or1k.cfg

You don't have to touch the *.bset files.

If we go back to the versions in the file names then we have to update 
also the *.bset files and we create orphan files with each version 
update. I don't really care which variant we use since the frequency of 
these changes is quite low. What should I do now? Add the versions to 
the files and adjust the *.bset files accordingly?
