Uhm.. but python2.3 is already in my repo (IIRC)

GCC (current pre3.4) needs two things:

  - A set of patches which I'm trying to merge into CVS by pinging maintainers
    periodicaly (I'll raise the ping frequency a bit, maybe that helps).
  - An updated libtool.

The first one takes its own time. For the second, I planned to ask upstream
for an update when libtool 1.6 is released, but maybe that takes too much.

If someone wants to help, you could update GCC for libtool pre1.6 from CVS
(it's a non-trivial task due to dependencies in autotools/makefile stuff) and
send some patches to upstream.
