Dave,

Our GCC 4.5 packages has been "experimental" since August.  I have been
running 4.5.1, and now 4.5.2, with only slight modifications to your
patchset since then[1], including an important fix for libgcj[2].  My
latest changes are in Ports git[3].

Since I have been using 4.5 for so long, I find myself unable to upload
many packages to the distro, as many require the newer libraries.  Could
we please have a stable 4.5.2 in the distro soon?


Yaakov
