Yes.

Second option.

Basically, you'd want to take the "binutils", "bfd", "ld", "opcodes",
"gas", "gprof",  put them in your egcs source tree.  ie


egcs source tree
  gcc
  libio
  libstdc++
  gas
  binutils
  bfd
  ld
  opcodes
  gprof


Basically, anything you find in binutils that is not in egcs you can
put in the egcs toplevel directory.

Note this also applies to gdb and other utilities.
