You have write access to the binutils repository, but you do not have
write access to the gcc repository.  They are on the same machine but
they are managed differently by different people.  In order to get write
access to the gcc repository, you need to follow the guidelines at
http://gcc.gnu.org/svnwrite.html.  Specifically, you need to start with

    If you already have an account on sourceware.org, please send email
    to overseers(at)gcc.gnu.org with a request for access to the GCC
    repository.  Include the name of an existing maintainer who is
