When is it expected that

(a) this patch will be installed in the FSF tree (so fixing bootstrap in
the most common GNU/Linux configurations, where there's a separate gnatgcc
for Ada but the C compiler is based on a less ancient GCC version);

(b) the patches reverted in the merge are unreverted (this involves a
proper check of any public patches in the relevant timeframe, to see if
they were reverted; the list I gave might not be complete);

(c) the recently sent update to the Reference Manual, and the User Manual,
will be checked in (these really ought to be included in merges, along
with the code, so that the version of the manuals in CVS always
corresponds exactly to the version of the code, rather than being done
separately);

(d) the merge and all these changes will be merged to the 3.1 branch?
