Hi Luis,

Right - I have now updated the binutils-gdb mainline sources with this release.
Whilst it is true that the gcc version of zlib sources had diverged slightly from
the 1.2.11 release sources, I think that it was just some changes cherry picked
from the developments that went in to 1.2.12. So a simple rebase should be safe.
Cheers
Nick
