Hi Mark, Steve,

I would actually put it more strongly:  in general, without good
reason to the contrary, fixinclude patches ought to go into all active
branches.  A contraindication might be "days away from cutting a full
release', but otherwise these patches are generally quite safe and
make GCC more readily usable.  In other words, if another 4.1.x is
possible, I'd put it there, too.  :)  But Mark gets to make final call
on that.

Cheers - Bruce
