If we can't come to a conclusion about what the right thing to do is soon, then
it'll simply have to be left out of egcs-1.1.1.
I don't consider this that critical -- we're making progress on ppc-linux
stuff, and I'm happy with that. I do not want ppc-linux issues to hold up
a release at this juncture. Maybe ppc-linux will be mature enough in a future
release that we should hold up releases for ppc-linux stuff, but I don't
believe it's quite to that point yet.
