Thanks for fixing this.

In case some one wants to use the released binutils or gdb tar balls,
I have attached hand made patch files with the latest version of this patch
and the right date information for the binutils-2.25.tar.bz2 and the gdb-7.8.1.tar.gz.
Just use: patch -p0 -T < patch-binutils/gdb-doc.diff.


Bernd.
