I was not aware that Ian was the maintainer for the FSF copy of
binutils, and/or that patches sent to hjlu didn't 'automagically' 
end up in Ian's source tree.  I signed all the copyright assignments 
some 6-9 months ago, and hope to pursue with Ian the formalities of
getting the changes merged in.
