My understanding is that this is going to happen.  Until it does,
though, we will be chasing after various patches and work-in-progress
versions.

Ah, no, then we just get to help _keep_ it working ;-).

At the risk of stating the obvious, feedback from people who are
trying to actually use this darn thing will be needed on an ongoing
basis.  The bug-tracking system at http://developer.redhat.com/ is one
place for that, the GDB mailing lists are another, &c.

On an unrelated but analogous note, Cygnus has started checking in the
ia32 optimization improvements to gcc ( http://gcc.gnu.org/ ).  Cool to
see this happening (and it means there is hope for getting these kinds
of enhancements written and checked in :-)).
