Hi Guys,

  Now that the 2.14 binutils release is out we are ready to drop the
  requirement that all binutils code should be in the K&R dialect of
  C.  So from now on, patches that conform to ISO C89 will be
  accepted for the mainline sources.  The current branches will remain
  K&R.

  Patches that upgrade the current K&R sources to ISO C89 will also be
  considered, and accepted if they conform to the normal patch
  submission requirements.  (ie that they work, they do not introduce
  non-FSF copyrighted or patented code).

Cheers
        Nick
