Actually, I have only a few patches, and quite minor at that -- mostly
small bug fixes and no new functionality. Most of these patches are
already in the sourceware tree. You can see my recent submissions at:
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/patches/binutils/
The only solution, in light of this reeaaaealllyyy long release cycle,
that I've found is to take a particular snapshot of the CVS tree, test
it on lots of code hope for the best. Painful and error-prone at best.
Unfortunately, that also means that I have different binutils distribs
for x86-pe (mine's based on 1999-11-09 CVS), another one for Linux (HJ
Lu's), yet another one for HP-UX (can't remember what snapshot I'm using
currently), and so on.
