If you care to provide binutils-2.20 with it forever, the change can be 
reverted.

Again, your decision to drop gcc-4.5 and binutils-2.20 from meta-oe drove me 
to push this fix.

I can say exactly the same to you - do you think meta-ti should be 
beagleboard.org's playground w/o regard for other TI goals to support 
different platforms and toolchains?

Anyway, it's a childish reaction and fight - you know very well it wasn't 
a conspiracy against you and affecting boot time was incidental. Calm down, 
react sane and eveything can be fixed and worked out.
