True, this part has been rejected upstream, but all other parts, ie most 
of them, have been accepted. So I can't let you say the "patch as 
originally posted was rejected there".

We have found another way to fix (or to workaround?) the problem by 
modifying the kernel, and it has been accepted upstream. That's why I 
have sent another mail in November 2005, retitling the bug, and 
reassigning it to binutils-multiarch, with a *new version* of the patch 
only including the only missing part, ie the debian part.
