`contrib/gcc_update --touch` and snapshots

[Gerald Pfeifer]

I'm afraid the following change breaks `contrib/gcc_update --touch`
when used with snapshots, which do contain generated files:

  2000-07-13  Mark Mitchell  <mark@codesourcery.com>

        * gcc_update (files_and_dependencies): Remove generated YACC files.

An example sent to me privately by some user:

  # contrib/gcc_update --touch
  Touching gcc/config.in...
  Touching gcc/java/parse.h...
  Touching libf2c/configure...
  Touching libf2c/libU77/configure...
  # cd $objdir
  # make
  gmake[1]: Entering directory `/work/egcs-20000814/libiberty'
  ...snip...
  cd cp && gmake ./parse.c
  gmake[3]: Entering directory `/work/egcs-20000814/gcc/cp'
  expect 33 shift/reduce conflicts and 58 reduce/reduce conflicts.
  cd .; bison  -d -o parse.c parse.y
  bison: not found
  gmake[3]: *** [parse.c] Error 127

Perhaps we can/should touch generated files if and only if they already
exist in the local source tree? Thoughts?

Sorry, I was confused: Clearly, if the generated files are included in
snapshots, they will have a more recent time stamp than their sources, so
this should not be an issue (unless some tar does not obey file dates).

The real problem is that snapshots do not contain these generated files.
Didn't we agree to include these for FTP snapshots and releases?

Yes.  I believe that Bruce Korb was going to take a whack at doing
that.

Yeah, but Bruce Korb got involved in an OS release and then
in a NFSv4 proposal and this week in a forum.  RSN.  :-).

Yes, but I simply don't have time to do it.  Yes, I should check the
snapshot script into CVS so that others can take care of it.  Egad, this is
going to be embarrassing.
