I don't want to end up in charge of binutils - particularly since I maintain the FSF releases, and we're using HJ Lu's Linux Binutils releases instead. I wouldn't mind being in Uploaders, though, so debian-toolchain sounds like the way to go. In other words: I'll help but I'd like to find someone more willing to act as point. -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
