I haven't seen it either. I got the diff file (about 350 KB).

Noteworthy changes in GCC version 2.7.1:
This release fixes numerous bugs (mostly minor) in GCC 2.7.0, but
also contains a few new features, mostly related to specific targets.
Major changes have been made in code to support Windows NT.
The following new targets are supported:
2.9 BSD on PDP-11
Linux on m68k
HP/UX version 10 on HP PA RISC (treated like version 9)
DEC Alpha running Windows NT
When parsing C, GCC now recognizes C++ style `//' comments unless you
specify `-ansi' or `-traditional'.
The PowerPC System V targets (powerpc-*-sysv, powerpc-*-eabi) now use the
calling sequence specified in the System V Application Binary Interface
Processor Supplement (PowerPC Processor ABI Supplement) rather than the callin
sequence used in GCC version 2.7.0. That calling sequence was based on the AI
calling sequence without function descriptors. To compile code for that older
calling sequence, either configure the compiler for powerpc-*-eabiaix or use
the -mcall-aix switch when compiling and linking.
