Long ago Phil kept install trees from daily GCC builds and had tools to identify on which day a bug was introduced. I wrote a set of regression hunt tools that, given separate scripts to check out sources for a particular revision or time, build GCC (or any other product), and run a test that reports whether it passed, failed, or something unexpected happened, will report the revision that introduced the failure. See contrib/reghunt in the GCC source tree. I think there's a web page about it but can't find it at the moment. Janis
