Matthias,
I recently provided two separate patches that got included in binutils
2.20.51.20100908-1 (thanks!). For reference here are the bug URLs
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=590101
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588357
I have been told on the debian-embedded list by Hector Oron, that the
experimental version of binutils will probably not make it into the Squeeze
release. If I were to provide equivalent patches for binutils 2.20.1-14,
would those have a chance of being accepted and making it into the Squeeze
release? I wanted to ask before I did the work. I could prepare and test
those this week if you were inclined to accept them. They were relatively
minor, and it would be of interest to me to have them in the official
Squeeze release if possible.
