It is very easy to get up-to-date if we are allowed to put all out
changes in as a big merge, and not broken up in individual small
separately
tested (in FSF GCC tree). Currently the process is very cumbersome and
labour-intensive however, requiring lots of retesting of front-end
patches
which already have been tested extensively together and separately with
the GCC 2.8.1 backend.
Regularly doing resynchs directly using CVS would be much faster and
make FSF/ACT trees practically identical.
