My workflow up until now has avoiding making updates to typedefs.list
in patches. I only update typedefs locally, for long enough to indent
my code. The final patch doesn't retain any typedefs.list changes.

I believe that I came up with my current workflow due to the
difficulty of maintaining the typedef file itself. Random
platform/binutils implementation details created a lot of noise,
presumably because my setup wasn't exactly the same as Bruce's setup,
in whatever way. For example, the order of certain lines would change,
in a way that had nothing whatsoever to do with structs that my patch
added.

I guess that I can't do that anymore. Hopefully maintaining the
typedefs.list file isn't as inconvenient as it once seemed to me to
be.
