I wasn't sure about putting it at the top level because I had two
concerns:
1. That some binutils users would think it was definitive for binutils
and use it, maybe causing some friction. (And I think this current
thread shows that at least the first clause of that seems plausible.)
2. That at some point we'd find a case where gdb and binutils disagree
on some setting.
That said, I don't really care all that much where the file ends up.
How about we give the binutils maintainers a little more time; in the
absence of a response I'll send a new patch to put it in the root
directory.
thanks,
Tom
