binutils 2.9 branch created

[Manfred Hollstein]

I just checked the gas-980331 snapshot on these configurations:

  - hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
  - m68k-motorola-sysv (aka `delta')
  - m88k-motorola-sysv3 (aka `delta88')
  - sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
  - sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4

I didn't observe any problem!
