Something like this, yes. Thanks!

Let me have a closer look to your proposal, maybe it's just something
trivial.

Anyway, coming to your problem with PCHs, certainly you can configure
without, just pass --disable-libstdcxx-pch, but honestly I don't see why
the problem is that serious for you. Likewise for abi check. People
developing the library daily run make and make check, thus PCHs, library
proper, abi and all the other tests, without any particular problem. I
guess you have simply to set-up a bit better your machine.

In order to actually get the forms you have to fill a questionnaire and
send it to assignments@gnu.org. I'll forward it to you momentarily,
off-list.

Thanks again,
Paolo.
