Yes, I know the ELF BSS bug has been fixed in binutils-2.10.1, too.

Anyway, sync sources with gnu/dist and pkgsrc/cross is still worth.
It make updating base toolchans and feedback to FSF (or cygnus?) easier.

But we have to move all patches in the each target directories
into common (binutils/patches, COMMON/patches-{binutils,egcs})
directories to avoid conflicts.

We should reorganize cross packages _after_ we switch to
gcc-2.95.2/binutils-2.10.1 in the main trunk :-)
