Git has no problems with binaries. Actually, one could argue that it has less problems with binary files than with text files, since it only recently acquired the capability (disabled by default) to transcribe certain files into the CR/LF line ending some Windows programs still insist on.
As for checking in binaries, you even could set up a post-commit hook, which builds the binary, and checks it into a separate branch...
