I thought I read a while back that since the headers are strictly 
derived (by scripts, the part I haven't worked out yet) from the 
Atmel-owned XML that there were some ownership issues.  Since my 
solution here to make things built was to literally straight-copy the 
headers from the ASF install on my Windows VM, it's even more dodgy in 
that sense.

I've got things working now, just need to get it into a sane set of 
patches, and I guess when it comes to those files if Atmel doesn't care, 
neither do I ;-)

I'd class these as trivial patches (they're done in a for() loop...) but 
they're more than 10 lines.  I can do the copyright assignment, or I can 
just email you my script and let you take "ownership" of the binutils 
and gcc changes if that's more expedient.
