-  # WARNING: Upstream made a mistake in packaging that may mean anyone
-  # but the FSF hosting this tarball is accidentally in violation of
-  # the GPL. We can't update binutils until the next stdenv-updates,
-  # so we are stuck with this version. The issue is discussed in
-  # this email: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-08/msg00198.html
-  # The tarball for this minor version will not be fixed, as only the
-  # tarballs for the latest minor version of each major version will
-  # be repackaged. The fixed sources for the closest version to this one
-  # can be found at mirror://gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2
-  # or http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2
-  # The sources missing from this tarball come from cgen. It is unclear
