The "Category" for 2 of the missing reports was "fortran" and the

This is the component (or rather, gets translated into the component).
optimization was split into rtl-optimization and tree-optimization i
believe, and no longer exists as a component.


<rhetorical>
As a normal user of gcc, what's the difference between
rtl-optimization and tree-optimization?

None.
It's for developers to know what area the bug is in at a glance (backend optimization or frontend optimization).

We don't expect users to actually get the component/category right, or the priority/severity for that matter :)


There is no clue for a normal user to decide between
rtl- and tree-.  Someone with way too much compiler
writing skills is splitting hairs for the normal user.
