the changes required for binutils have been merged into mainline ... since
2.16 was so close to release, they didnt apply it to the 2.16 branch ... so
hjlu's snapshots of 2.16.90+ work fine w/out patches to non-libtool related
code, but anything older requires patching to work properly
i dont believe anyone has sent anything upstream for gcc ... mjn3 has been
working on the C++/locale stuff recently with gcc-4, but the reason it hasnt
been sent upstream so far is because (afaik) no one felt it was good/stable
enough for gcc to accept
somewhat related ... ive sent the fixes needed for config.guess to properly
support uClibc, but bje at gnu.org never responded to me :(
anything that uses libtool still needs to be patched because no one has sent
patches to libtool maintainers ... but that too has been held back because
the current method of reading '/lib/libuClibc-*.so' with `file` is considered
to be kind of a hack, but no one has really bothered to review it since it
works 99% of the time :)
