Nick and others,

I just extracted my local patches from egcs-1.1 tree and uploaded the
files to:
 
ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin32/snapshots/egcs-1.1/

There are 3 patches there:
  
  1 pcc struct return: 1 one-liner that fixes some ABI problems.
  2 c++ attribute fixes: major C++ parser fixes to accept various win32
    style attributes in declarations. (Alastair Houghton)
  3 c/c++ pragma fixes: Add pragma push/pop/pack etc support.
    (Alastair Houghton)

The first two are very well tested, but I don't know enough about these
packing constructs to know how well (3) works. Worked for my simple cases,
but those were just toy codes.

If interested, please check it out.

Regards,
Mumit
