I am sure that interested parties would be happy to test if asked,
especially after GCC 4.1 is released.
However, that causes a sequencing problem:
the target milestone for PR25335 is gcc 4.1. While a simpler patch
could be used for 4.1
(the removal of find_replacements and its callers is basically a
cleanup), we don't want
to fix bugs on release branches before they are fixed on mainline.
And leaving a sizeable chunk of code that isn't expected to do anything
is not something that
we want to do in mainline, particularily when it makes reload harder to
understand.
