Running TDE R14 here on Debian Sid, with binutils (and gcc-4.7) 
installed from earlier Jessie and held.

In Jessie binutils 2.23 has arrived: 
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=binutils&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

binutils 2.23 causes the entire TDE to be removed in sid and will 
probably now also for Jessie.

One of many examples:

Package: kdesktop-trinity
Source: tdebase-trinity

Depends: binutils (>= 2.22), binutils (<< 2.23), libacl1 (>= 2.2.51-8), 
libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.18), libc6 (>= 2.1.3), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.10.0), 
libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, 
libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libidn11 (>= 1.13), libjpeg8 (>= 8c), 
libkonq4-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0-r1184), libpcre3 (>= 8.10), libr0, libsm6, 
libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libtqt3-mt (>= 4:14.0.0-r172), libtqtinterface, 
libx11-6, libxau6, libxcomposite1 (>= 1:0.3-1), libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), 
libxext6, libxrender1, libxss1, tdelibs14-trinity, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), 
tdebase-trinity-bin (= 4:14.0.0-r1184-0debian8.0.0+pr54), eject, 
xdg-user-dirs

To hold binutils and gcc-4.7 seems the only solution at the moment.
