I'd like to second that. egcs@cygnus.com is a high-volume list, and
readers have to deal with a lot of information which is of little
concern to them. This is just a matter of fact, and nothing to be
worried about.
These days, the back-ends and the non-C front-ends are the areas where
major changes occur, and where most people have problems. For C++,
some stuff might be better in other places (what does the standard say
about such and such), whereas code generation issues etc. really
belong here.
More Fortran-specific stuff won't hurt, IMHO. People will come with to
egcs@cygnus.com, just discussing their problems might be easier than
to forward them to a different place.
