cgf> "again"?  When did it stop?

Okay, "again" is not quite what I meant to say.  I really meant: 
"once again, gcc HEAD has a new bug".  I'm starting to expect 1-2
of these per week.

cgf> Things seem to be getting worse and worse.

They are.  I'm opening bugs against gcc HEAD faster than the gcc
people are closing them.  And I still have several regressions
left over from the April-June period when I wasn't around.

As far as I can see, the only feedback loop for gcc debug info
changes is me running the test suite.  Ideas for improving this
welcomed.

Maybe I should set up a separate test bed and spin it
1-2 times per day with gcc HEAD, binutils 2.14, gdb 5.3.91.
