Hello,

The patch below works around the Bash 4.2 bug described at
<http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2-patches/bash42-007>.

The effect of this bug would be that building a cross-Binutils for
mips64el-linux-gnu would lead to an ‘ld/configure’ error when Bash 4.2
is used:

  binutils-2.27/ld/configure: unhandled emulation

(See
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-09/msg01083.html>
for an earlier discussion of this issue.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

	"x$EMULATION_NAME" to the left to work around
	<http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2-patches/bash42-007>.
