No, integrating it for use by folks that use egcs.

That's fine, they're welcome to try, but IMHO, it's unwise to try and
suck in a new STL release at this point. Unless we want to push back
the release schedule again (which then runs the risk of hitting the
next Cygnus EOQ).
Getting the egcs-1.1 release out in August is still the target, if we
miss it, it's likely to fall into October due to Cygnus EOQ concerns.
