Hi Nick,

The problem I encountered, which prompted me to inquire about 
bug-binutils@gnu.org address was the fact that my post did not even get 
through to whatever bug-binutils@gnu.org presently forwards too.  It 
bounced straight back to me (well rather slowly, but still faster than 
traditional post :).  A little ironic considering the amount of SPAM 
that unfortunately gets on some gnu lists.

Your patch looks great.  IMO if bug-binutils@gnu.org could forward 
directly to binutils@sourceware.org I think that would be great.  Better 
than going unread as I presently found.

Regards

JG
