I'd say it means config/X/*, plus the entries for X in config.gcc, plus documentation for X (options in invoke.texi, attributes in extend.texi, specific issues in install.texi, ...), plus testcases for any feature or bug specific to X (probably plus configuration for X in libstdc++-v3 / libffi / ...). (But not anything X-specific in config.* or libtool, since those should be imported unmodified where possible.) But not changes to generic files for bugs that affect X. -- Joseph S.
