Make dist doesn't work from a fresh checkout/autogen.sh:
* depcomp is missing in CVS in config/ AFAICS
* files/links seem to be missing for the config includes. make dist
fails from a fresh checkout

it works after building it in the cvs checkout dir and then doing make
dist.
* Debian has i386 as an (the?) architecture for all intel i386 and
upwards. But OTOH not really because libstdc++ already needs the
presence of i486 instructions. I had to force config/configure.host to
use i486 as architecture for i386. The diff contains the patch.
* An idea of the Debian packages is here:

* I'm trying it on a few architectures I can get my hands on.
powerpc, sparc, seem fine. ia64, s390 get detected as generic which is a
regression IIRC.
* the generic atomicity implementation seems to be broken. I didn't look
into this further:
