Good to see the GCC release manager looking at things from a user perspective,
and not just looking at an individual leaf in a forest.

Regarding the powerpc specific issues; I was able for just one day to compile a
complete glibc package. Now, after major work on mainline binutils (the one
with daily snapshots on ftp:gcc.gnu.org) It can not even pass a significant
portion of its own testsuite (while the ix86 build does fine). After having
been repeatedly told that the user community should not bother the
_illustrious_ glibc developers with build problems I have refrained from
contacting the binutils folks.

The steering committee, wisely, has recognized that the gcc group can __not__
contnuously and exhaustively test all software changes on the __vast__ array of
hardware configurations and thus has sought help from the user community. The
operating principle being that ""All bugs are shallow if there are thousands of
eyes looking "" (imperfect quote).
