You do not appear to have sent anything recognisable as a GCC patch
submission, just a tarball with a random set of files that do not include
"gcc/doc/symdb.txt" which you suggest in your message might be relevant
documentation. Since you do not have a copyright assignment on file with
the Free Software Foundation, people aren't going to look in detail at any
substantial patch you do send. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html>
for details on how to send patches once you have an assignment on file;
note in particular that things should be sent in plain text form. Make
sure you include a full explanation of the feature and the implementation
approach *in plain text in the body of the message*, and follow the
examples of the best-explained gcc-patches submissions from established
developers. User documentation and testcases are at least as important as
the actual implementation for initial review purposes.
