binutils/binutils: remove faulty patch

The added code should be conditinal to the target system
being !MIPS, but is based on the host system being !MIPS.

This is plain wrong, and had not been noticed until now
as I never used those binutils versions on MIPS.

     3 Prerequisites and instructions for using ct-ng for building a cross toolchain on FreeBSD as host.
     4 
     5 0) Tested on FreeBSD 8.0
     6 
     7 1) Install (at least) the following ports
     8    archivers/lzma
     9    textproc/gsed
    10    devel/gmake
    11    devel/patch
    12    shells/bash
    13    devel/bison
    14    lang/gawk
    15    devel/automake110
    16    ftp/wget
    17 
    18    Of course, you should have /usr/local/bin in your PATH.
    19 
    20 2) run ct-ng's configure with the following tool configuration:
    21    ./configure --with-sed=/usr/local/bin/gsed --with-make=/usr/local/bin/gmake \
    22    --with-patch=/usr/local/bin/gpatch
    23    [...other configure parameters as you like...]
    24 
    25 3) proceed as described in general documentation
    26    but use gmake instead of make
