Thanks for your prompt answer.

Is this documented somewhere, so that such cases do not happen in the future?

It's in a patch which has been under review for quite some time
(started before your change), that's why you missed it.

Yep, I saw those and also added other traces of my own :-)


What about my remark about:

I think it should be removed from gcc/Makefile.in

Thanks,
