I've been hacking gcc's contrib/update-copyright.py for binutils,
and have run it over binutils to update all the binutils copyright
notices.

Here's an example of the update:

--- a/bfd/elf32-sparc.c
+++ b/bfd/elf32-sparc.c
@@ -1,7 +1,5 @@

Does anyone have a violent objection to committing updates in
bfd, binutils, elfcpp, gas, gold, gprof, ld, and opcodes?

How about includes/ too? The choices there are
a) apply to just binutils owned files,
b) apply to binutils+gdb files,
c) apply to the lot, and update gcc/include/ too.

I see Joel already updated include/gdb, but the script makes a further
small change. So choice (b) in include/gdb consists of patches like
the following:

diff --git a/include/gdb/gdb-index.h b/include/gdb/gdb-index.h
index d846b04..a8d4f2f 100644
--- a/include/gdb/gdb-index.h
