--- Comment #3 from Sam James <sam at gentoo dot org> ---
Yeah, I understand it's not an error per se, just wondering if it could be
considered to add them.

It looks like they're generated from the same script used for releases:
maintainer-scripts/gcc_release (as it handles announcing them too, and diffs,
etc).

I didn't realise it didn't do a test build at all (figured if it did, could
just shove in --enable-generated-files-in-srcdir).

At least the machinery is largely there, but it'd involve actually doing at
least a minimal build before generating the snapshots.
