I think this is pretty common with many open source tools. Every distribution 
maintainer wants to make a tweak - and not always sends it upstream. When 
they do send it upstream - the patch can be rejected by the mainline 
maintainer - due to a variety of reasons... 

For example - there is a huge difference between a RedHat kernel, and 
kernel.org. Most Debian userspace packages are heavily patched - yeah, it 
kind of stinks - but that is what "diff" is for....

It is not a mess - it is just the way it is...

elf2flt is maintained by David McCullough - mainline is at:

http://cvs.uclinux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/elf2flt/

Releases are done as part of the uClinux-dist

I think the big difference is that binutils, gcc, linux kernel, uClibc, 
busybox, etc are all huge projects with _many_ maintainers for each project.

elf2flt is a small (but critical) project - where all the burden falls on one 
person (who is also busy with other open source responsibilities - as well a 
real life).
