 Replying to [comment:11 bonefish]:
 > I would keep non C/C++ related changes out of the repository. Moreover
 all patches for the current gcc/binutils should be upstreamed eventually
 (no one was motivated enough to do that yet), so that our repository will
 basically be a copy of the vendor sources.

 Okay, sounds good.  And yes, it would make everything a lot easier if
 these were committed upstream.  I believe the GCC guys won't accept
 patches for ports unless a full testsuite is run and they are given the
 results.  I know that requires Tcl/Expect/DejaGNU to be working on a given
 platform.  I think we need some porting work to get those all going, but
 admit I didn't check out HaikuPorts just yet to verify.

 I'll probably ask around again though just in case the testsuite run is
 just preferred, not required.
