Perhaps you should ping the original patch, with a CC to the build maintainers in case they missed the patch, or are/were on vacation, or whatever. A simple ping on the original thread would do more good than sniping in an unrelated thread. Speaking only for myself, I also think it's unfortunate that the above impression is the impression that you took away from the "dragonegg in FSF gcc?" thread; I don't think that's a proper reading of the thread at all. -Nathan
