Not all of them are applied on x86: % cat stamps/02-patch-stamp-*|less bootstrap patches applied. cpp-dos-newlines patches applied. cpp-macro-doc patches applied. gcc-cvs-updates-20000220 patches applied. gcc-default-arch patches applied. gcc-empty-struct-init patches applied. gcc-manpage patches applied. gcc-pointer-arith patches applied. gcj-debian-policy patches applied. gcj-vs-iconv patches applied. gpc-2.95 patches applied. gpc-updates patches applied. libg++-update patches applied. libobjc patches applied. libstdc++-bastring patches applied. libstdc++-out-of-mem patches applied. libstdc++-wall3 patches applied. libstdc++-wstring patches applied. reporting patches applied.
And only 4 have any chance to be relevant: gcc-cvs-updates-20000220, gcc-default-arch, gcc-empty-struct-init. Unfortunately, the first one is ~100Kb worth of changes. Hmmm... After some cleaning the whole thing boils down to 11Kb. And I seriously suspect that relevant bits are in cse.c, loop.c or toplev.c, with the first two being the most likely candidates (all coming from the -cvs-updates-20000220)...
