And I approved it back then too... :-)   What I meant was, are there any 
internal CodeSourcery patches specific to binutils (and to this topic) 
that you would care contribute ?

Eric - to answer your question, support for both --with-bugurl and 
--with-pkgversion are already in the binutils sources.  In fact they are 
implemented using the same macros as the gcc sources (in config/acx.m4) 
so the binutils versions should be the same as the gcc versions.

Cheers
