Quoth Tom Tromey on , 31 May:
: Could you send a patch and ChangeLog entry?

I'll try to submit everything I have outstanding in a series of
independent per-issue patches once I have tests working.  For the
moment, I'm still working on the GC.  Also, I am de-motivated to
submit patches right now, because I still haven't heard from the FSF
about my assignment forms.

: ... weak symbol support.  If that is too hard to write a test for...

Not hard.  But again, not a task for me, until my assignments are acked.

: Could you make a separate patch to change alloca to __builtin_alloca?
: I think we could just check that in.

I should check and see if -fbuiltin would handle it.  (I just learned
about that switch complex.)

: How extensive are the no-JNI changes?  I think this is actually
: something we'd like.  I picture a `--disable-jni' configure flag.

It's not that much, maybe a 100 line diff.  I did implement such a
configure flag.
