crosstool-ng/patches/binutils/2.15/740-binutils-2.15-vmx.patch
Yann E. MORIN" b1e693e402 Renamed all patches file names so that locales are now irrelevant to sort the files.
Removed the locale check as it is now irrelevant.
Removed the experimental binutils 2.17.50.0.xx: 2.18 is here now.

See
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2004-05/msg00071.html
and
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils-cvs/2004-05/msg00111.html
This fixes problems like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:1: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `dssall'
which show up in binutils-2.15 when building the Linux kernel,
or possibly failed compilations when building setjmp/longjmp in glibc.
An alternative fix would be to pass -many to the assembler.
A patch to do that for glibc is at
wget 'http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/get-raw-msg?listname=libc-alpha&date=2004-05&msgid=40B36E8C.9030609%40us.ibm.com'
Yet another, better, fix would be for gcc to generate assembly
that told the assembler which processor type to use.
Presumably the Linux kernel sources would need a fix, too.
Probably better to just fix binutils to accept sources that it used to.
