--- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
So the issue is when we do a release, do a full build of GCC.
Doing a snapshot does NOT do the full build because of resource constraints.
We have at least any one time, 4 snapshots happening during the week.
the machine which hosts gcc is doing the snapshots so taking resources away
from other projects too.

We could do this yes but I doubt we want to do for a few reasons.
1) No longer a true snapshot of the source.
2) resource constraints on building the snapshot
3) building the generated files while using snapshot/git is not a bad thing
