The main reason for maintaining this package for me is its use in the Lego
BrickOS environment, which *only* supports COFF. The importance thereof is
arguably decreasing as Lego doesn't ship H8300 controllers anymore. Still, I
have no other use of this binutils suite myself and consequently feel unable to
maintain an h8300-elf variant. If there is someone willing to take over, I'll
happily orphan the package and lend a hand to anyone willing to adopt it.

I'd hence tend to tag it as wontfix, until someone steps up.

Sorry,
Michael
