Thanks! I'll try it over this weekend (if I can find enough time...).

I am sorry if this is off topic, but...
Mohan, why don't you remove the gcc sources from your 
gcc-devl-yyyymmdd.tar.gz?
It is possible to generate "your" sources (using the supplied diff 
file), by placing the adequate snapshot (pointed out by yyyymmdd) at the 
correct subdirectory. So, imho, technically it is open source. I would 
call it "GPLed diff programming". ;-)
I don't see how this would go against the GPL.
It is not logical to put this burden (GCC sources) on somebody's 
shoulders only because s/he suggests a nice patch that has not yet been 
accepted and gives away some binarys for public benefit...

You can all throw stones at me if I have pronounced a blasphemy...
I hope I can live with that...

João
