 The instructions at http://gcc.gnu.org recommend using -z 9, so would
 this
 be acceptable to add to gcc_update?

State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 19 14:26:46 2002
State-Changed-Why:
    As Geoff Keating mentioned, adding -z1 to gcc_update
    may not be a good idea.  A user can enter -z1 in the .cvsrc
    if they wish.

 This is really not a good idea in general.  For some people, -z9 will
 make 'cvs update' faster, but for others it will make it slower, and
 it adds to the load on the server.
 
 Those who find -z9 or -z1 or whatever is helpful can add it to .cvsrc.

I suggest adding -z1 or -z2 at cvs in contrib/gcc_update to reduce traffic at update. I think this is a performance win with not so fast connections.
But I don't know whether your server has enough power to ....
