Hi,

This patch did not make to the list as it exceeds the 400 KB limit

--------------

Your mail to 'Binutils' with the subject

     [PATCH,RFC 3/7] libctfframe: add the CTF Frame library

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

     Message body is too big: 666389 bytes with a limit of 400 KB

-------------

What is the recommended way to address this ? Splitting this patch up 
with libctfframe/configure in a separate commit will not address the 
issue as the libctfframe/configure will still be larger than 400 KB.

Will this eventually get moderator approval or should I push it all in a 
publicly available branch on github ?

Thanks
Indu
