Re: gas fix for ia64 target

[David Mosberger <davidm at hpl dot hp dot com>]

As per David O'Brien's suggestion, I'd like to ask that the posted
patch also be considered for the 2.12 branch.

Thanks,

Would you be able to post a follow up that it should also be considered
for the 2.12 branch?  The *BSD's are looking to Binutils 2.12.0 to be a
