GCC conversion work in progress

[Eric S. Raymond]

Those of you with a direct interest in the conversion might want
to watch #reposurgeon on freenode.  This is where Daniel Brooks,
Julien Rivaud and I are working on it.

Here's where the code lives:

reposurgeon: https://gitlab.com/esr/reposurgeon

The conversion recipe: https://gitlab.com/esr/gcc-conversion

In the next few days I expect the remaining problems to move from 
nechanism to policy choices.  At that point, broader review of the
recipe and the conversion progress starts to become desirable.
