(long ago, GCC was in the same 'src' as well, but i think it's no longer the same. our merged tree had GCC too...) this is a nice idea, but practically we already stopped using it.. IFF we switched to importing gdb/binutils from the non release branch at the same point, we could probaly do this as long as we understand we're getting devel code, not release code, which is probably a bad idea...would like to have at least one of them as a release ;) .mrg.
