For gcc/, using the contents of gcc/DATESTAMP would seem better.  
Timestamps on files change as they are checked out, copied, checked into 
different version control systems, etc.; using the contents of a source 
file is better.  For Classpath, I don't know if a local change to use 
gcc/DATESTAMP is appropriate.
