It's not in the tree, yet. The most recent version of the patch is
http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/gcc-patches/1999-05/msg00012.html
with Jason's comments in
http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/gcc-patches/1999-06/msg00220.html
It didn't get into 2.95 (as I hoped), and because of Jason's
objections, it didn't go into the mainline, either. Also remember that
the fix introduces a binary incompatibility; so you'd need to use a
command line option to activate it, anyway. In the light of the ia64
abi, justification for such a patch might have changed - although
you'll need vtable lists in that ABI, as well, so the effort is not
completely wasted.
