New target, copyright assignment

Hi all.
Watching things go by, I figured I had better get this copyright assignment
into the FSF before things go too far away. As I had mentioned before I
have the stuff for a new target (the USR PalmPilot). Much of this work
was done by Kresten Krab Thorup (whom I believe has already registered
for copyright assignment) and myself. Part of the gdb back end is by
Kenneth Albanowski.
So, I have just printed and signed on the dotted line. It will go in the
mail tomorrow. This code exists prepackaged as 'prc-tools' which contains
patches to gcc-2.7.2.2, binutils-2.7 and gdb-4.16, so this stuff will
require me to bring it up to date with egcs. Since there is not yet a
BFD back end for PalmPilot's 'prc' format, some small tools are used to
convert from COFF. I'm not clear what should be done with those, perhaps
they should be kept seperate with the PalmPilot header files, or put in
with binutils.
Patches to gcc and gdb are non-trivial, there someone will need to carefully
check for breakage with other m68k targets. binutils just adds .sa to the
linker search for shared libs...

These two stand alone utils are needed to build PalmPilot executables.
obj-res needs to link with libbfd.a and friends.

I guess I should make patches relative to egcs, does that sound about right?
Cheers,
Jeff.
