Okie dokie.

I'll be happy to either re-integrate the changes into the development
sources, or to do verification of whatever patches you make.  Just let me
know what you want me to work on.  My project strongly requires a working
g++ for *BSD on the Alpha, so I'm pretty motivated to make this go.

Just keep in mind that I'm new to the Cygnus/GNU way of doing software
development.  I have done large scale development using GNU tools, just
not on them.
