Ah, great, so 2 major platforms are OK. Btw, if you want to have some ia32 
specific fixes in, the easiest way is to create a site.exp which runs the 
patched gcc-2.95.3 against the mainline C testsuite. Then look thru the 
execution fails and check if any of them looks serious enough to be fixed 
and check the archives which mainline patch was supposed to fix it. If the 
fix isn't too invasive and doesn't rely on other invasive patches, there's 
usually a good chance that it applies reasonably well.

Franz.
