The binutils 2.17 project branch has been cooking for quite some time, and it now seems ready for merging into head. Thanks to Erwin Lansing, who performed multiple exp-runs, a few remaining issues with ports have been fixed (or will be fixed very soon). So I plan to merge the binutils-2.17 project branch to head this weekend, if there are no further objections. If you have found a showstopper bug, please let me know ASAP. :)
