The situation I'm interested in is for cross configurations as well. 
Anyhow, I'm just as happy with your patch as with mine.  All I want is 
to have an agreed-upon mechanism available to solve the problem.

I would definitely encourage the binutils maintainers to settle on one 
of the approaches, and get that set of patches committed, independent of 
the GCC development stage.  That will actually make it easier to get the 
matching patches into GCC later, and will keep a third person from 
independently developing yet another set of patches.

Thanks,
