This is a fairly big patch... 1. How bad is performance without it? 2. Can you find a binutils maintainer that will vouch that this patch is 100% safe? The 7.8.2 is in the pipe because we found a number of crippling issues in 7.8.1. At this point, we should only consider extra-safe patches, or patches that fix issues considered to be blocking the use of 7.8.1. For yours to qualify, you'll need to answer both questions above. -- Joel
