3. In the branch sources:
Update the minor release number in bfd/version.m4.
Regenerate the configure files.
Commit the updates along with a "this-is-the-2.XX.X-release" note

4. Tag the branch with the new release number:
a. Update the minor release number in bfd/version.m4.
b. Edit bfd/development.sh and set "development=false".
c. Regenerate the configure files.
d. Commit the updates along with a "this-is-the-2.XX.X-release"

e. Tag the branch with the new release number:
git tag -a binutils-2_XX_X

[optional -f to move an already created tag]
git push origin

a. Edit bfd/development.sh and set "development=false".
b. ./src-release -b -g -l -x binutils
c. Edit bfd/development.sh and set "development=true".
FIXME: Really the development.sh file should be changed by the

sources as the branch will continue to have (development) patches
checked in to it.

./src-release -b -g -l -x binutils
g. Edit bfd/development.sh and set "development=true".
h. Commit this change into the git repository.

FIXME: The tarballs will contain spurious autom4te.cache
directories which could be removed to reduce their size.
