Heh, that sounds like my cue. :-) I've actually started tinkering with 
GCC again recently, as part of Dehydra and other experimentation with 
ways to use the compiler to analyze and rewrite the Mozilla code base. 
So in addition to my past experience, I have an immediate interest in 
keeping latest GCC functioning on Darwin, and no Apple entanglements. If 
people are interested in having me back, I'll sign up to both Darwin and 
ObjC* maintenance. and because it's been a while since I've last 
contributed, I can do a probationary period too.
