Is there anything critical in that patch that can't wait until another stable release from upstream? I'd rather not use an unreleased development version if possible.

This patch changes the Binutils version to 2.19.0. Apparently the Binutils release manager does not feel that any of the changes warrent a new release. The bugs fixed by this patch include:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7011
which fixes a segfault in ld,
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7044
which fixes compiler warnings with gcc-4.3, and some fixes for non-x86 platforms.
We have used these branch patches before. They do not add new features. They're bug fixes against the 2.19 release. From what I can see, this patch is not necessary for LFS, but would improve the health of our Binutils. Consider that these changes were backported to the 2.19 branch for a reason, and we should take advantage of it.
