Yes, ev56 was added in early Sept, after egcs forked.

There's quite a bit of changes that went in to support ev56, so I don't think
we want to suck everything down this close to a release.  We might just have
to punt ev56 for the first release unless someone can come up with a reasonable
set of changes to install into the release tree.

Note that we will get this updated code via the gcc2 snapshot -> egcs merges,
so as soon as the first release is done we'll be able to suck that code into
egcs.
