When EGCS and GCC merged back together again, the changes made to the FSF version of GCC (that is, the non-EGCS version) were put into FSFChangelog, which is where you found them. There was no attempt to copy all the entries from FSFChangeLog to the regular ChangeLog files, so it is not surprising that the change is not there. The revision history of the FSF version of GCC between the EGCS split and the merge was retained on premerge-fsf-branch. That lets me see that this change was committed by Richard Kenner on 1998-10-04. As I recall most changes to the FSF version of GCC were discussed on the gcc2 mailing list. But I might be misremembering. And I can't find any archives of the gcc2 mailing list anywhere. Ian
