No thanks - I do not want to become contaminated. :-) Unless the author(s) of the patch submits it (or allows someone to submit it on their behalf) we cannot accept it into the binutils sources. Further the author(s) will also need have to assigned the copyright of the patch to the FSF before it can be accepted. Mind you, it would be very nice if the patch was officially and properly submitted.
