 No worries, my 4000/90 has been doing quite well.  Thanks for the offer 
though.

 Sure, fingers crossed so that you can find a spare moment sooner rather 
than later.

 I've got binutils 2.22 in the queue before I move on to 2.23.1.  I hope 
to upload packages before Christmas, but I need to put them through 
cross-target regression testing first to avoid surprises with the local 
changes.  There have been a number of MIPS changes between 2.21 and 2.22 
which made this update a bit time-consuming; unfortunately the move from 
2.22 to 2.23.1 may only be marginally easier.
