When some Cygnus customer donates code to the GCC project, it almost
always requires a considerable amount of work to merge it with the
current GCC tree.  This means that the GCC versions used by customers
probably differ a lot from the public version, and I think this is
a hint that a lot of work is done which never finds its way into the
public GCC tree.
