Hi Zack,
I saw your message about an intl/ update:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-07/msg00032.html
Here's my story. Gdb has a build problem, PR gdb/857, which is about
intl/Makefile.in and the lack of a few files in the 'distclean' rule. I
started working on this and I noticed that gcc/intl is a lot newer than
src/intl.
My plan is to add a few lines of kludgery to the top level src-release
file and not touch src/intl/Makefile.in at all, on the grounds that
src/intl is about to get a big upgrade soon anyways. The specific
kludgery is a couple of lines like 'rm -f intl/config.cache' and 'rm -f
intl/stamp-h'. I think this will be benign if an upgrade happens.
I just wanna make sure that my plan is okay in light of whatever's
going on with src/intl these days. Can you comment on the status
of that?
Thanks,
Michael C

Yeah. Updating src/intl to match gcc/intl is on my list but I am not
going to get to it soon.

I'm not familiar with src-release so I have no idea whether this will
be a problem. What will happen eventually is, gcc/intl will be copied
over to src/intl, and everyone's configure scripts will be modified to
match. Testing this change is a bit daunting, which is one of the
reasons I haven't gotten to it. Help would be appreciated. (Note I
am moving, so I may not respond to mail in a timely fashion for the
next week or so.)

Okay. That sounds normal. And it sounds like there is nothing hidden
that is going to leap up and bite me.

I guess I can't ask you to know about src-release, so I will have to
be responsible for this bit. I'll make sure that my bits in src-release
look compatible with the gcc/intl/Makefile.in as well as the current
src/intl/Makefile.in.

I can do some garden variety cross builds, like gdb_mbuild.sh,
whenever the time is good for you. I'm not much on exotic builds though.
Thanks,
