Patches applied in this version:

gcc-version:

glibc-version:
  fix glibc version at 2.2

libg++-update:
  2000-03-12  Manfred Hollstein  <manfredh@redhat.com>
  
  	* Fix.h (Fix::Rep): Move definition into public context.

  From: Donn Terry <donn@interix.com>

cpp-macro-doc:
  cpp.texi: add a node documenting macro varargs.

gcc-default-arch:
  set the default architecture to i386; even if gcc is configured
  with i386-linux, it builds with Pentium instructions, tuned for i386.

libstdc++-out-of-mem:
  Throw exception instead of aborting when out of memory

libstdc++-wstring:
  enable definition of wstring type, if __ENABLE_WSTRING is defined.

libstdc++-bastring:
  Here is a patch to /usr/include/g++-2/std/bastring.h which makes it
  work for me (though note that I have not tested the c_str() method as
  such):

gcc-manpage:
  Document exit codes.

cpp-dos-newlines:
  Handle DOS newlines after backslashes.
  Patch from http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1999-Jan/0784.html

  invoke.texi Fix typo (-fstd -> -std).

strength-red:
  From: Alan Modra <amodra@bigpond.net.au>
  To: gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org
  Subject: gcc-2.95 strength reduction fix
  Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2001 14:51:31 +1030
  This particular problem was fixed on the mainline by
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-04/msg00576.html, which is a
  much nicer fix than the following but a minimal change may be preferred
  for the 2.95 branch.
  
  	* loop.c (strength_reduce <giv loop>): Set up maybe_multiple for givs.
  	(record_giv): Pass in maybe_multiple.
  	(find_mem_givs): Likewise.

gcc-messages:
  avoid setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ...) not to set LC_MESSAGES, because
  some environment except for setting LANG=C fail to display libc 
  message.

gcc4-fix:
  gcc4 build fix (invalid lvalue in increment)
