--- Comment #10 from Jim Wilson <wilson at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The proposed binutils patch has multiple problems and has gone through multiple iterations. Not clear when or if we will be able to accept it. The gcc configure patch to eliminate the call to gcc_GAS_VERSION_GTE_IFELSE for in tree gas builds actually looked like the better solution to me though I haven't tried it yet. If we go this way the patch should perhaps eliminate everything related to gcc_GAS_VERSION_GTE_IFELSE which is a much bigger patch. Since combined tree builds are obsolete, this is low on my priority list.
