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.
