Though this is true, I'm trying to avoid that using a shell function
which was initially proposed by Jason Marill and which I have been
fine-tuned a bit:

function egcs-up () {
	if [ ! -d CVS ] && [ ! -d egcs ]; then
		echo "First cd to your egcs cvsroot dir." >&2
		return 1
	fi
	find . -name configure.in -o -name '*.y' -o -name '*.gperf' -o -name '*parse.in' | sed -e 's,^\./,,' | xargs cvs update ${1+"$@"}
	find . -name config.in | sed -e 's,^\./,,' | xargs cvs update ${1+"$@"}
	cvs update -P ${1+"$@"}
	echo "EGCS${1+" $@"} updated on host ${HOST} at $(date +'%Y/%m/%d %X')" | tee -a UPDATELOG
}

Yes, cp/parse.c has been updated during the night after I have
sent my email.

timestamp issue; but, I don't understand why!?!?! I'm always using the 
above function for getting the sources :-?

Well, I don't build fortran either, but it's supposed to be build when 
doing a `make info'.

I just logged into egcs.cygnus.com, the following files are out of
date (at least, if one would believe `ls -tr'):

 - gcc/cp/parse.{c,h}
   $ ls -als parse.*
     14 -r--rw-r--   1 law      anoncvs     12739 Mar 15 23:04 parse.h,v
   4911 -r--rw-r--   1 jason    anoncvs   5007174 Mar 17 00:03 parse.c,v
    193 -r--rw-r--   1 jason    anoncvs    195831 Mar 17 00:03 parse.y,v

 - libf2c/configure
   $ ls -alstr libf2c/configure*
     70 -r-xr-xr-x   1 law      anoncvs     70340 Mar 15 22:32 configure,v
     14 -r--r--r--   1 law      anoncvs     13009 Mar 15 22:32 configure.in,v
