Your patch for these problems looks fine, but there is one
difficulty.  You do not appear to have a binutils copyright assignment
on file with the FSF.  Without such an assignment we cannot accept
your patch.  (I accepted your other two patches because they were
small enough and simple enough to be considered to be "obvious").

Assuming you still wish to have your patch accepted and applied,
please could you fill out the copyright assignment request form
attached and send it off.

Cheers
        Nick
