For the GCC 2.95.3 it probably doesn't make much of a difference as it is
(AFAIK -- correct me, if I'm wrong) not longer maintained by any vendor. I
would prefer putting the original sources into a vendor branch anyway, and
apply the BeOS specific patches to the main trunk. You never know what it
will be good for at some point in the future.
Thanks for your work.
