One which I've refused to do until I've investigated _why_ I don't have
this command.  And I've now done that (having waited the half-hour for
the fsck of the old machine to complete.)  It appears that several of
the binutils commands weren't transferred to the new machine from the
old machine.

That's now fixed - and it suggests that there isn't a version of
binutils which missed out on this command, so I think we can go with
the original patch.
