If you don't use float/double/long double anywhere in the code, then current
CVS should work for most things.
If you want floating stuff, then there are several pending patches
(SUBREG_BYTE which changes almost all gcc/ files) and then a few minor
patches (I've resent some of them and sent references to few others
yesterday to gcc-patches) and the result is a usable compiler. It still has
some glitches (like some c++ testsuites failing) but e.g. the c compiler
compiles full GNU libc without any problems, bootstraps etc.
I'll repost updated SUBREG_BYTE patch soon.
Cheers,
Jakub
