Thank you very much for submitting this patch.  There are a few
problems however:

  * Patches should be submitted to the binutils mailing list
    (binutils@sources.redhat.com) rather directly to me.  I have taken
    the liberty of forwarding this email to that mailing list.

  * Geoff Keating is the current Power PC maintainer.  You can find
    the list of all the current maintainers in the file
    binutils/MAINTAINERS in the binutils sources.  I have CC'ed Geoff
    on this email.

  * Your patch does not include an entry for the ChangeLog file.
    These entries are very helpful and generally speaking we will not
    accept a patch without one.

  * A 1990 version of the POWER manual sounds rather out of date to
    me, but I expect that Geoff can say whether its contents are
    relevant.

Cheers
        Nick
