The patches posted to the binutils mailing list are incomplete. The
binutils patch at

But in that post (June 28) Maxim recommends using mainline binutils, and
since then we have HJL binutils-2.19.51.0.14 released, "...based on
binutils 2009 0722 in CVS on sourceware.org..." So I guess I should start
there.
I understand that the current GCC (4.4) lacks the necessary patches, and
4.5 is still uncooked (and that's a scary prospect). Can someone confirm
that this is the necessary patch for 4.4:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-05/msg01024.html
Presumably not this one?
http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/gcc_patch2
(and gcc_patch1 is clearly broken... perhaps it was actually the same
thing before being mangled... Stephen, I don't think this "/tls" directory
is helping any.)
Shall I remove it then?
I'd remove it.
The gcc commit in question is this one,
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=147654
which appears to be the very one in the mailing list archive at the URL
above (you can download a raw version at that URL).
A quick visual shows that tls/gcc_patch2 doesn't match the commit (the
revision numbers in the diff confirm that it is older).
