Do you mean on a branch?  Or do you mean in the mainline sources?

Getting it on a branch wouldn't be too hard....  In fact, 90% of
the work is already done :-)

If you mean don't install any more g77 patches, I think that would
be unwise.  After all we're developing the g77 compiler as well
as the other compilers.
