Hello! We, the GNU Hurd people, would like to get GCC in a compilable/usable shape for us again, without needing to do the patching that was needed since the 4.2 release. I have already some weeks ago sent the needed patches to the gcc-patches mailing list, where they have been acked by Paolo and Matthias.
Now that my GCC copyright assignment papers are on file and my sourceware account has been enabled for accessing the GCC repository, I could in theory install the patches. However, as I read on the homepage, GCC trunk is currently in ``regression fixes and docs only'' mode. Asking on OFTC's #gcc channel, after having stated that ``changes that are entirely port specific generally have some leeway; that is, if the change can only affect the Hurd target, then the Hurd maintainer may approve fixes for serious bugs even in regression-only mode'', Ian told me to raise this topic on the gcc list, as the ``problem'' is that currently no maintainer for the Hurdy bits is listed in MAINTAINERS. Being one of GNU Hurd upstream, I'd offer to fill that position. Regards, Thomas
