This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the GNU assembler,
linker, and binary utilities, as well as the GNU Binary File Descriptor
Library used by these utilities.

This package was put together by Galen Hazelwood <galenh@micron.net> from
sources obtained from:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/GCC/binutils-2.7.0.9.tar.gz

Changes:
 * Added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files
 * Fixed typos in binutils/strip.1 and gas/doc/as.1
 * Patched bfd/elf64-alpha.c (from Michael Alan Dorman)
