 Umm...

 Hmm, I would like to get included at least these:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-07/msg00139.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00002.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00006.html

(I suggest combining the above three into one; non-MIPS clean-ups from the 
second can be discarded as far as I'm concerned)

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00191.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00209.html

and these would be good to have too:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00045.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00046.html

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00086.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00093.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00106.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2012-08/msg00192.html

the latters including in particular test suite coverage for some of the 
changes from the first set (unfortunately the dependencies require pulling 
much more than the minimal required set).  I've dropped some minor updates 
that I made in that period.  Overall I worked on the submissions in the 
first half of August with the explicit intent to have them included in 
2.23, sigh...

 Thanks for your offer WRT applying these -- do you have any way to 
process these messages automatically?  Otherwise it might perhaps be 
easier if I replayed the original commits on binutils-2_23-branch from the 
original patches.  WDYT?
