I believe the source code (i.e., what you'd change to modify the intrinsics) needs including in the GCC release tarballs. I don't think CGEN itself needs including, any more than OCaml needs including because the ARM NEON intrinsic generators are written in OCaml. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
