They go in, eg.:  patches/gcc/linaro-4.6-2013.02
(obviously, replace with the actual version you want to patch)

I'm not sure how/if we should handle patches against Linaro versions.
They are a fast-moving target, and we only bundle one Linaro version
per major upstream version, and I'm sceptic at how good we'll be at
maintaining those patches.

Depending on what the patches do, I'd suggest you push them to Linaro
first (and Cc: me if you want)

Anyway, just post them here, too, we'll see what to do with those patches
depending on their content.

Thanks for sharing with us that your company is working with crosstool-NG! :-)

Would you want to share a bit of your experience so I can add that to the
testimonials page [0] on the website?
