Look in maintainer-scripts.  The update_version script shows where this
is changed.

I don't believe make dist is used for GCC.  (The GCC build structure predates
a lot of what we think of as common practice.)  Right now there's a bunch
of release scripts on the gcc.gnu.org machine, but I don't think they're
in CVS... ?
