binutils package has little to do with architecture naming, although,
I've never seen or heard of cross toolchains supporting this $cpu-$os
scheme. And honestly, I haven't seen even patches against dpkg to even
allow for such weirdness (and break compatibility with debian ports).

I'm not sure if there's any need to raise bugs against gcc to get your
patch noticed.

Right you are, Mr. Dibbler. :)
The patch against latest binutils snapshot package is out there.
Comments are welcome, flame is discouraged.
It will take some additional time to put gcc to proper shape and then
you'll see the patches. But before that, I'll need to port
glibc-2.3.6. So expect a week or two, considering that nobody
volunteers to help and I do have other projects to do.

Why is that? I certainly won't be able to (easily) separate
uclibc-related stuff from our changes.
