egcs-1.2 stuff

[Jeffrey A Law <law@hurl.cygnus.com>]

OK.  Now that egcs-1.1.2 is done, we need to start discussing the major
stuff that needs to be resolved for egcs-1.2.  My quick list:

	1. lcm.c tied into gcse.c -- Done internally at Cygnus, just need
	   to push the remaining bits into egcs

	2. fast-fixincludes -- basically needs testing and resolution of
	   any problems

	3. aligned stack slots for x86 -- patch submitted, needs final
	   review & install.

	4. EH vs unrolling problem -- patch submitted, needs final review
	   and install.

	5. unrolling & splittable GIVs problems -- needs to be analyzed and
	   fixed.

	6. Beat on the i18n support and make sure it's at least basically
	   working.

	7. Various bugs effecting glibc, the linux kernel, mips large frames,
	   etc etc.  Basically some major bug hunting sessions.
		
	8. Do we actually have the gcc include path stuff resolved?  Do we
	   want to suck in the code to allow the installed toolchain to move
	   around without the need for -B and/or GCC_EXEC_PREFIX?

	9. masked bitfield comparison issues reported by Charles Hannum

       10. Revamped cpp wrapper -- patch submitted.  Needs review
 
       11. Revamped install documentation (kill the various subdir install
	   stuff for a single install document for egcs).  Basically step 1
	   of the long term doc reorganization.

       12. New target issues (uwin, interix, hpux11, arm-vxworks, openbsd)

       13. --program-prefix fixes?

       14. SMP build fixes (particularly for chill & java)

       15. Testsuite legal issues need to be resolved.


I'm sure there's more.  I suspect once we've got a better list we'll have to
chop some stuff off to be able to make any kind of sane release schedule.

I've still got ~50 patches in my queue to review.  Much of it backlog from
concentrating on egcs-1.1.2 and Cygnus deliverables.

I'd like to get at least one additional person more closely involved in the
release process.  Someone to handle regression test coordination would be
good, as would someone to coordinate testing of major free software packages
would be a major win.
