Well it really is a lot easier for us if you can provide a patch (or set
of patches).
If you are using the binutils sources checked out of the CVS repository
(which is what we would recommend for this kind of work) then all you
need to do is run "cvs diff -cp" at the top level of the sources in
order to generate a patch file.
If you only have a tarball then you can still create a patch by getting
hold of another copy of the source tarball (from your backups, you do
keep backups, right ? :-) and then running "diff -rcp <original> <new>"
at the top level.
Cheers
Nick
