I'd also like to point out that this is simply not a proper patch
submission at all, independent of the specific issues about changes to
prerequisites that require things to be raised and explained in a
self-contained way on the gcc list. Every patch submission needs an
explanation of the purpose of the patch - not just the ChangeLog entry
saying at a low level what changed, but the higher-level motivation for
why the patch was implemented and why it was implemented the way it was.
It also needs to say how the patch was tested. And a multi-patch series
should contain such an overview for the whole series (which might also
make clear whether the patches were tested individually or only in
combination), typically as patch 00/nn. Note that as stated in
contribute.html this all applies even when the patch is being sent by a
maintainer of the relevant part of the compiler.
