Some patches for Binutils seems to not be really needed.
Moreover for some of them I was not able to find any justification
for their introduction.
1. 0002-ld-makefile.patch
This one I may track down to at least 2.15.92.0.2 here [1].
Commit message just says: "Integrate some debian patches,
extracted from binutils_2.15-4.diff"
But in OpenEmbedded they got rid of it long ago on switch to 2.26, see [2].
2. 0003-check-ldrunpath-length.patch
The same story here.
3. 0004-add-sysroot-fix-from-bug-3049.patch
Bug mentioned in this patch was marked as "fixed" in 2012, see [3].
