I note that the patch series doesn't include resyncing shared build system 
files that are out of sync between gcc and src.  Any chance this could be 
done either before or after the above?

Makefile.def
Makefile.tpl
Makefile.in
config/ChangeLog
config/lead-dot.m4
config/mh-cygwin
config/mh-ppc-aix
config/tls.m4
config/unwind_ipinfo.m4
config/warnings.m4
configure.ac
configure
include/ChangeLog-9103

(The whole config directory should be exactly identical in both places, 
including the ChangeLog.  Each repository has accumulated changes that 
need merging to the other repository.  I believe such resyncing can be 
considered preapproved since approval for a change to a shared file in one 
repository is sufficient for it to go in the other as well.)

There should be a "make install-pdf install-html" test (for both gcc and 
GDB/Binutils) as well.

Once the changes are in, CodeSourcery's next arm-none-linux-gnueabi 
automatic test run will cover such a configuration.
