There was a patch for 2.95.x a few weeks ago. I asked people whether it
was okay or not. What I got from Jeff was the answer that 2.95.x is dead.
I am running 2.95.x on OpenBSD, plus that patch.
David O'Brien is running 2.95.x on FreeBSD, probably plus that patch as well.
I can test further 2.95.x patches on OpenBSD systems. This does cover
i386, sparc, m68k, powerpc, mips, m88k, vax, hppa... (well, not thoroughly
for the later arches).
I can even commit patches to the 2.95 branch if I get an official approval.
In that specific case, I got absolutely *zero* feedback from people who
actually understand this part of gcc's code whether that patch was okay
for the stable branch or not.
