sure, it was first released in binutils-2.19 which was ~Oct 2008 (3 years
before the grub report), but i don't think people generally started using it
until later: it required distros to update, and i think we can agree that it
was another release or two before it could be used as more of a drop in vs
project specific one-offs.
Gentoo: May 2009
Fedora: Nov 2009 (F13)

i don't have an opinion on the various behaviors of -T, but i think the number
parsing should be the same, and gold should be the one to change (even though
it kind of sucks).  accepting addresses in decimal is just weird tbh.
