I have a gcc svn repository mirror on my hard disk. The svn history of 
varasm.c in viewvc looks good. The oldest entry is

Revision 281 - (view) (download) (as text) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
Added Thu Feb 6 00:04:16 1992 UTC (17 years, 7 months ago) by rms
File length: 77149 byte(s)

Initial revision

I'm using ViewVC 1.0.5-0.2 from Debian AMD64 unstable. I noticed that 
the ViewVC version is 1.1.2 on gcc.gnu.org. Maybe it's a regression of 
ViewVC.
