I'd say it means config/X/*, plus the entries for X in config.gcc, plus
documentation for X (options in invoke.texi, attributes in extend.texi,
specific issues in install.texi, ...), plus testcases for any feature or
bug specific to X (probably plus configuration for X in libstdc++-v3 /
libffi / ...). (But not anything X-specific in config.* or libtool, since
those should be imported unmodified where possible.) But not changes to
generic files for bugs that affect X.
