take a look at http://www.gromacs.org/installation/prerequisites.php

The configuration script will check this for you, and complain load
if your version is too old. GNU Binutils 2.12 and later are know to work,
but some earlier ones might also be OK - it is checked by the configuration
script, which will complain loud if there is a problem. If your version is too
old you can download and install from this source:

so should be ok and you can start with compiling gromacs

./configure ...
