Hi John,

I've finally got around to dealing with the issues you've raised, and I've
updated the version in the process.

New spec:
https://xgoat.com/~rob/rpm/arm-cortex_m-eabi/arm-cortex_m3-eabi-binutils.spec
New SRPM:
https://xgoat.com/~rob/rpm/arm-cortex_m-eabi/arm-cortex_m-eabi-binutils-2.24-1.fc20.src.rpm

rpmlint will give you some warnings from those, but these are apparently to be
expected from cross-compiling things.  This thread:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-January/160806.html
contains someone asking questions about those rpmlint warnings.  The warnings
from rpmlint fall into the following groups:

 - cross-directory-hard-link: According to that thread (and other shipping
cross-compiling binutils, e.g. avr-binutils), this is OK.

 - non-standard-dir-in-usr: This is a feature of the cross-compiling toolchain.
 Again dealt with in that thread, and also following suit on the behaviour of
other already shipping cross-compiling binutils packages.

The BuildRequires of just texinfo appears to be fine to me.  It builds in mock
with no problems.

Regarding the licence:  The sources contain GPL v2+ and v3+.  I'm following
suit on what the binutils package does, and labelling this as GPLv3+.  I assume
this is correct.

Cheers,

Rob
