binutils is another GNU project (and well known and easy to obtain),
so linking to ftp.kernel.org feels a little surprising.

I simplified this and generally streamlined this note - which luckily 
is a lot less necessary now then when it was added many moons ago.

In fact, do you think we can even remove this altogether?  binutils
2.15 was released in May 2004, more than 12 years ago. ;-)

Gerald


PS: Applied for now...
