Ulrich,

The best way to proceed here is to check out a trunk and then say
contrib/gcc_update -r 124834

This is the version of the truck that we last merged with and is now a
week or so out.  I would be surprised if you have any problems running
the regression tests on this version.  Eric Christopher has also had
problems with the trunk of later versions than we merged with the mips port.

If you do have trouble with 124834, i think that the dataflow branch
just has to declare victory, but this is unlikely.  The likely scenario
is that it will work and there might be a few regressions.

Thanks for getting this far.
