Ian, usually you are the only one who will look over my patches. I know
you are very busy. I don't want to put new things on your long backlog
unless I have to. I assume it will help both of us. You have less
things to worry about and my important patches may have a chance to
be looked at with a few months. It looks like we may have more
people working in binutils. Unfortunately, I am very busy now. I
will submit my new patches to the binutils mailing list. It may take
a while to recreate those old patches.
