I have some patches to get the GCC tree more or less in shape for git autotools, with the idea being that the most recent stable version be used when merging these patches. In some way I can only hope that GCC 4.5 branching take a little longer so Automake 1.11 can be released first ... ;-) (and an Autoconf 2.64 release would be good as well, since that would probably shave MB worth of size off the GCC tarball.) But anyway, the idea was to cleanup and post patches sometime soon after 4.4 branches. And no, I don't think it's worth switching to any version older than the latest stable one. Cheers, Ralf
