I would like to know if it is too late to get this patch in for 2.13? I see that today is the planned freeze date. The full patch is at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils-cvs/2002-07/msg00165.html and it fixes a bug in objcopy & strip on the HP-UX IA64 platform. I probably wouldn't call this fix critical, mainly because this platform is not very widespread yet. But without the patch objcopy and strip are unusable on HP-UX IA64. Perhaps we could put it into the branch for a future 2.13.1 release if you don't want to risk putting it in to 2.13 at this late date.
