binutils is easier than gdb, because binutils has nothing right now.
Thus, there's nothing to convert :P.

GDB has GNATS, and in order to keep the bug numbers the same, we'd have
to set up a new install of bugzilla (since bugzilla bug ids are
"globally" unique to a given bugzilla instance, rather than unique to a
given product).


Does GDB have any different gnats fields than gcc's gnats used to?

If not, i can run the conversion script on the database, import the data
into my test database on dberlin.org, and you guys could see what the
converted db looks like (though i don't have inbound email handling set up
on my machine).
