We generally use bugzilla for filing binutils bug reports:

   http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/

You do not actually say what bug you are reporting.  Presumably you 
consider the testsuite failures to be bugs, yes ?

I am now showing 8 unexpected failures for an x86_64-linux-gnulibc 
toolchain based on today's gcc and binutils sources.

This is a complicated set of targets.  Is there any particular reason 
for them ?

I tried to look at this patch but it was not available for download from 
that URL.  What does it do ?
