This is a fairly big patch...
  1. How bad is performance without it?
  2. Can you find a binutils maintainer that will vouch that
     this patch is 100% safe?

The 7.8.2 is in the pipe because we found a number of crippling issues
in 7.8.1.  At this point, we should only consider extra-safe patches,
or patches that fix issues considered to be blocking the use of 7.8.1.
For yours to qualify, you'll need to answer both questions above.
