Bootstrapped successfully and passed make compare (except of course
for the zzz.o file) on sparc-linux-gnulibc1 both with and without the
Haifa scheduler enabled.

Any timeframe on a initial cut of the new test suite mechanism?  I'd
like to start cranking.

I would prefer to have the test suite still in a separate tar file -
it makes working with a low-bandwidth networking connection easier.

Thanks,

Great.  Hopefully the zzz.o problem will be cleared up before the next
snapshot.

Hmmm, good question.  It'd be good to get it in asap so that it could be
used for testing before the Aug/Sept release -- even if it's just the basic
dejagnu stuff without the automatic nightly testing stuff.

And (of course) the testsuite brings up another packaging issue -- whether
or not to include it in the main tarball.

The more I think about it, the more I feel there should be a "full blown"
release -- with all the languages, testsuites, targets, etc and a "lite"
release which is just the C compiler, then separate tarballs released in
lockstep that one can extract to get g++, g77, objc, the testsuite, etc.

If we can get a handle on doing releases like that, then we can think
later about what to do with the config directory.

I think by file -- which is how the intial prototyping work went into
the compiler -- file by file.

Maybe a good first step is to get each file's static functions dealt with
first.

Then start getting all the missing prototypes for extern functions dealt
with working on one .h file at a time.

The last step would be to start fixing all the target config files.

One of the things we should be doing -- switching to cpplib across
the board instead of for just the fixing of header files.

Per, are there any technical reasons why we can't start this soon?
