Um, why?  The binutils and gdb are owned by and maintained on behalf
of the FSF.  A few years ago the FSF requested that we go through and
change linux* to linux-gnu*, in accordance with the their preferred
name of GNU/Linux.  That's not to say that your patch is automatically
rejected, but it certainly needs some motivation.
