Merge of egcs and gcc?

[e9125884]

Hello!

On the following website ( http://www.cygnus.com/egcs/ ) I found that egcs
will be merged again with gcc2.

When will egcs be merged with gcc?

Ciao,
Gerhard

Just a follow-on to Joe's message.

egcs does periodic merges *from* gcc2 into egcs.

We'll probably do the next merge from gcc2 after gcc-2.8.1 is
released.

I am curious as to where you are reading that from.  The page you mention
says "All code will continue to be assigned to the FSF exactly as before
and will be made available to the gcc2 maintainers for ultimate inclusion
into the gcc2 tree." and that is true; furthermore many patches first
developed in egcs are already in gcc2.

There have been proposals as to how gcc and egcs can work together, and
there are some discussions going on.  Right now the answer is "we don't
know yet".
