   Hi Nick,

my fixes in opcodes/i386-dis.c are already in the master branch.
I created 4 patches to integrate gprofng into binutils-gdb.

0003-gprofng-add-the-gprofng-documentation.patch
-rw-rw-r-- 1 vmezents wheel   26170 Jan 11 12:39 
0004-gprofng-add-the-gprofng-build.patch

The first 3 pathes add or change sources only in 
binutils-gdb.git/gprofng directory.
0004-gprofng-add-the-gprofng-build.patch has fixes in Makefile.def and 
configure.ac to configure the gprofng build.

0001-gprofng-add-the-gprofng-tool.patch is probably so big to send to 
binutils@sourceware.org.

I have no permissions to apply pathes.
What should I do to pushmy fixes for gprofng in binutils-gdb.git ?

Thank you,
-Vladimir
