Status
======

GCC trunk remains in stage 3, bug fixes and documentation changes only
(subject to the usual freedom of maintainers to judge what changes are
appropriate in their areas of the compiler).  The CR16 and Tile ports
and the resurrection of the Interix OS port could still go in if
updated versions are posted that address all the most recent review
comments.  Many of the more serious regressions have been addressed
since stage 3 started, but more regressions continue to be found as
people do more testing of trunk.  It still seems reasonable to aim for
entering Stage 4 (regression fixes and documentation changes only) in
early January and the 4.7.0 release in March or April.
