Yes, of course. Were you offerring to do so, or requesting someone else
to fix the code? The only minor difficulty I see is that binutils
generally should compile with a K&R compiler, so ANSI concatenation of
adjacent strings can't be used. Also, multi-line strings are deprecated,
so you shouldn't write:
"some very long message
with a continuation on the next line"
Instead write
"some very long message\n\
with a continuation on the next line"
