Thanks for the hint.  Perhaps someone needs to tell the GCC
maintainers about the problem with the main ste.

Thanks, but I refuse to put something other than an official release
on a CD-ROM which is supposed to be used by non-GCC-hackers, as long
as my name is on that CD-ROM.  The only exception to this rule is when
I know that the unofficial release is in extensive use by many people
for quite some time.

[As I wrote here on other occasions, I think that the latest trend to
worry much less about stable official releases, and instead rely on
anon CVS, is a very bad idea, and I think we should fight it.]
