some weirdness/slippage on RTEMS targets

I am  testing the CVS sources on RTEMS targets and 
of the 3 I have tried to build, two have changed
object formats since binutils since 2.10.  Specifically
m68k-rtems and i386-rtems are supposed to be ELF and
were so in binutils 2.10.  In the CVS source I checked
out a couple of days ago, they are back to coff
per config.bfd, ld/configure.tgt, and gas/configure.in.

Is this an issue that the RTEMS patches that changed 
most default formats to elf are actually on the binutils
2.10 branch?

I am happy to generate a patch to fix this but I am a bit
concerned about why it is needed and if something else
got broken at the same time.

Thanks.
