IMHO, also important additions were Stack Slot Coalescing:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg00333.html

and Loop Interchanging (on the LNO branch only though):

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg00162.html

And an inordinate amount of time was also spent on discussing
the need to have Ada tested by default due to GNAT version
incompatibilities.

Jan Hubicka has been hunting memory leaks and trying to
rein in memory usage.

Nathan Sidwell has been gcc_assert()-ifying the code base.

An unusual amount of bootstrap breakage on various
platforms...

Daniel Berlin has set up a GCC Wiki at
http://dberlin.org/gccwiki/ ...

Et cetera.

Ranjit.
