OK, then please explain why I should add it.

binutils-2.21 was just released today and nobody so far (but you) has
complained about this patch not having made it.

Apologies, I missed the changelog inside of the patch.

All patches need changelog entries, esp. those to GCC, binutils and gdb,
because these are the only possibility to "legitimate" them.

If I had known this patch was from binutils-cvs-HEAD, I would have reacted
otherwise.

Sorry again, I missed the changelog entry in the patch, and had the impression
this patch was one of these "eat or die" submissions.
