Joseph is unlikely to upload his conversion to gcc.gnu.org until all the tests have been completed. However, I've done a parallel conversion using the same scripts and the same version of reposurgeon. For those that are desperate for an early look, I've uploaded a copy of this to gitlab: https://gitlab.com/rearnsha/gcc. Beware that testing is *still* in progress, but hopefully this will be identical to the version that Joseph finally uploads. Please let us know, ASAP, if you see any *critical* issues. R.
