Shall we take a short break from my fold changes?

Hi,
Roger Sayle and I are wondering if we should take a short break (maybe
a few days!?) from my fold changes. The reason is that I've already
broken fold once. (Thanks goes to David Edelsohn for fixing the
problem!) If we wait for a few days, it's likely that people
bootstrap and test GCC on their favorite platforms. Some people might
even try to build their favorite applications with mainline GCC.
Plus, as Roger Sayle puts it, applying parts 16 and 17
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-03/msg00629.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-03/msg00630.html
would make it harder to revert any of parts 1 through 15.
On the other hand, after applying parts 16 and 17, it's trivial to
make fold_build[12] available although fold_build3 will take some
time, and it would be a bit awkward to provide fold_build[12] but not
fold_build3.
Thoughts?
