I'm not, nor ever have been, a Cygnus employee, so forgive me if I'm 
completely off base here.

I thought the CYGNUS LOCAL markers were intended to mark bits of code that 
should not be installed in the public trees -- that is, they were intended 
to mark areas of code that needed special attention (and probably removal) 
when code was being exported from a Cygnus repository to a public one.

If that is the case, then either the code so marked shouldn't be in the 
gcc tree, or the markers are now redundant and can be removed entirely.  
There seems to be no reason why they have to be converted to a different 
marker.

I guess only Cygnus/Redhat employee can answer this definitively.
