Andreas Tobler appointed FreeBSD maintainer (was: FreeBSD users of gcc)

[Gerald Pfeifer]

A while ago Loren James Rittle, who had been taking care of GCC 
on FreeBSD for many years and brought the port to modern standards, 
wrote the following on this list:

Turns out that with Andreas Tobler we are in the lucky position to
have someone like that.  Andreas already contributed arm*-*-freebsd*
support, PIE support for FreeBSD, did some PowerPC work, and more.

So, today I am happy to announce that the steering committee has 
appointed Andreas maintainer of the FreeBSD ports of GCC.

And I'd like to extend many thanks to Loren James for all his
contributions to libstdc++ and GCC on FreeBSD over many years.

Thanks a bunch, Loren, and happy hacking, Andreas!
