Hi Philip,

I downloaded mentioned file from a mirror in germany, and building
the package on i686-redhat7-linux-gnu reveals that pieces are missing.
This is the output from a recursive diff between the release and the
branch:

Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: .cvsignore
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: COPYING.NEWLIB
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: ChangeLog
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: MAINTAINERS
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: README-maintainer-mode
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: binutils
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs: djunpack.bat
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs/etc: ChangeLog
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs/etc: add-log.el
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs/etc: add-log.vi
Only in binutils-2.11.1.cvs/gas/testsuite/gas/arm: msr-bad.s
Only in binutils-2.11.1/ld: configdoc.texi
Only in binutils-2.11.1: md5.sum

It appears to me, that at least the toplevel ChangeLog file and the
binutils directory ought to be in the release.

Sorry that I didn't test any of your test-releases :-(

Cheers.
