hppa-linux-gas binutils patch

hppa-linux-gnu-gas only allows one type of ".equ" pseudo-op syntax:
symbol: .equ value

The following patch allows hppa-gas to understand
.equ symbol,value
as well, which seems to be pretty standard for other gas-targets as well.

I didn't found any problems yet with this patch, and it allows even the src/binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/localize-hidden-1.s
gas test to compile.

Comments ?
If OK, would somebody with write-access to binutils submit it upstream ?
