Re: [PATCH] hppa-linux-gas binutils patch

Helge,

Thanks for the very clear and logical reasoning of new versus old features.
Also thanks for indulging me and cleaning up the documentation. I have a
poster on the wall that says "A bug is not closed until you document the
change." :)

One last request, write me a nice ChangeLog so I can give you credit for
the good work! After that I'll send it upstream.

Dave I hope Helge's email answers your questions?

Thanks.
