Thanks, Nick.
Sorry about the missing te-dragonfly.h file.  My "git fu" isn't as good 
as it should be.  I have regenerated the entire patch set and attached 
them here along with the same commit messages as before for convenience.
I think the entire attached patchset is "mainstream" binutils.

By the way, can you take a closer look at ldlex.l change?  I've gotten 
feedback that the proper fix for the duplicate YY_NO_UNPUT macro 
definition is just to remove the line "#define YY_NO_UNPUT" since the 
first line "%option nounput" always defines YY_NO_UNPUT.  If you agree 
with that feedback, you'd want to change the ldlex.l patch although 
leaving it as it is doesn't do any harm.

I would disagree.  Dragonfly is not a new feature, it was supported 
before as can be seen within the patches.  This patchset fixes existing 
but broken functionality, so I would say it's appropriate for 2.21 as well.

Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.
