no problem: can I just create a wiki account for myself, or need I be
added to some writers list?  I remember at least the gcc wiki has added
some precautions after recent spam incidents.

More questions here: this is actually a bfd issue, but neither binutils
nor gdb has a component for that.  I could file it under gdb/build,
though.  Btw., bugzilla currently lacks the gdb 7.7 version.  Could you
please add that, too?

And should I add the PR reference to the ChangeLog entry?  It's not in
the mainline and binutils 2.24 checkins, obviously.

Ok.  Please let me know once the page is there.  I'll wait with the
commit until then.

It's obviously easier have the committers do the work rather than the RM
reconstruct what they did :-)
