Actually, I have only a few patches, and quite minor at that -- mostly 
small bug fixes and no new functionality. Most of these patches are 
already in the sourceware tree. You can see my recent submissions at:

The only solution, in light of this reeaaaealllyyy long release cycle, 
that I've found is to take a particular snapshot of the CVS tree, test 
it on lots of code hope for the best. Painful and error-prone at best.
Unfortunately, that also means that I have different binutils distribs
for x86-pe (mine's based on 1999-11-09 CVS), another one for Linux (HJ 
Lu's), yet another one for HP-UX (can't remember what snapshot I'm using 
currently), and so on.
