Most of my work on GCC happens in other places. If you want to find
significant work, look into the OpenBSD repository.  I've spent a long
time catching up with recent GCC development.  One good thing is that,
these days, GCC compiles reasonably well on OpenBSD. This was not the
case three years ago. I also finally have enough room on my development
machine to be able to work with GCC current.

And so, I'm working on fixing things.
