  this is clearly a hacky patch and, just as clearly, this is
something that has to be fixed upstream since it's a flaw in the glibc
snapshot itself.  to support the following combination:

  gcc-4.1-20050201
  glibc-20050502
  binutils-050502

just trash the binutils version checking in glibc/configure.in (i told
you it was hacky).


Now, now.  We can do better than that.  It should be
a simple, painless regular expression change :-)
I can't apply your change, but it's good to have around,
and shows where the real fix needs to go.

BTW when patching configure.ac scripts like that, please
also include the patch for the resulting configure script,
so people don't have to run autoconf.
