[PATCH 0/9] eBPF support for GNU binutils

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Jose,

  Thank you very much for submitting such a nicely set up patch
  series.  I only have one problem with it: the new toolchain shows
  a lot of failures in the various testsuites:

Please could you take a look at these and determine if they represent
problems with the ebpf code, problems with the tests, or just something
that ought to be skipped.
