Forgot to mention: it was for native binutils only, but I prefer to have 
the same source also
for cross-binutils. In future I may add sometimes building native 
binutils for DJGPP when
building cross-binutils RPMs (perhape not enabled by default, would require
something like --define 'build_native 1' in rpmbuild command line)
