I vote (a), because there is legitimate reason for the top-level
ChangeLogs in src/ and gcc/ not to be identical, but the config/
directory is supposed to be kept precisely in sync between the two
repositories. Therefore keeping a separate changelog for that
directory ensures that changes will stay documented in both
repositories.
