It's 12 thousand lines, meaning it touchs less than 6 thousand lines
of code. It's a 400k patch, uncompressed. Whereas the patch between 
egcs 1.1 and gcc-2.95 was 6 megs, compressed. My quick runthrough
the changelogs in gcc-281.dif didn't reveal any major new 
optimiziations - mostly bug fixes. Even with the patches, it's still
fundamentally the GCC 2.8.1 backend.
