The 'binutils-2.30.tar.bz2' and 'binutils-2.30.tar.gz' archives bundles *.rej files: binutils-2.30/ld/ChangeLog.rej binutils-2.30/ld/ldlang.c.rej Slight uncomfortable feeling why this made it into the binutils archives. Is there something missing which really should have been included, or are these the remnants of patches that have been superseded?
Yes, there are a couple of .rej files in that release tarball. Can't do anything about it now.
