Thanks.
These are two different things. I kept with the original description of the bug, I.e. adding bugs for which patches have been written during gcc 4.0 or earlier. Some already already had a bug submitted to bugzilla, so I only had to create the link for the bug; others had been posted separately to gcc-patches, but didn't have a bugzilla bug to track them, for these I have added the bugzilla bug. Some of these were posted, but the archive was damaged so the patches can only be found in the google cache, so that needed reposting too. And then there is a third class where the patches have previously be only posted in bulk. I would have worked on them in 4.0 stage three, if it hadn't been for the absolute code freeze. If you can't even get regression bugfixes accepted, there is no point posting any more. All categories patches might need some tweaks to work in 4.1, this is why I write some new code even for patches that are several years old. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17652
