What he said. <I'll be over here....> Well, after thinking twice about it i concluded that such flexibility may be not that good after all. Sure, it allows adding extensions, but make it hard to check at link-time if runtime support for those extensions is present.

Someone suggested that one can do 'cmp -i 150 old.dll new.dll', or whatever offset timestamp is located at. Ok, i've finalized patch and test. I suppose i have a copyright assignment with FSF for this changes to get incorporated into official sources. As far as i understand, i have to get an assignment form from binutils maintainer, right?
