Will any of this code make it into the next release?
(does anybody know if there will be a 1.2 or 1.1.2?)
I've found the snapshots change just too much to depend on them for
projects.  I'm positive, a non-release version of EGCS will not be used
as a new compiler in FreeBSD proper.  And, it is best if this Sparc
effort targets the most likely compiler that will become part of FreeBSD.
