Hi guys,
      I was just wondering if there was any interest in upgrading
binutils in the core system anytime soon. I accidentally discovered an
ld related bug (after thinking it was a gcc bug ><:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38231>), and I figured
given the difference in binutils that we might be able to upgrade and
get some decent bugfixes, while staying outside of GPLv3 territory.
Thanks,
-Garrett *ducks to avoid low flying fruit and vegetables*
