In my opinion that means we should really consider integrating it into our
mainline ASAP, and in fact an additional release criterion for GCC 3.0.
Else, GNU/Linux distributions for SPARC (which means UltraSPARC these
days) have *no* *choice* but rolling a GCC release of their own, similiar
to what Red Hat did with GCC 2.96, and we certainly don't really want
that, do we?
