Thanks!

I did similar verification for gdb/dist/bfd also. I'd like to
sync {binutils,gdb}/dist/bfd, but there are huge diffs between
them. Most of them seem like binutils or gdb specific fixes,
but I may overlook something...

It must be nice if we could unify two libbfd's. The upstream
uses the same repository for binutils and gdb. However, the
release branches for them are quite different, unfortunately.

For example, gdb 12 seems to be branched somewhere between
binutils 2.34 and 2.39, and they does not seem to merge non-
critical changes from development branch.

So, it is painful to unify both bfd's by our side. The best
choice we can make, should be to upstream our fixes, IMO...

Thanks,
