    71 What is the relationship between GCC and Cygnus / Red Hat?
    72 
    73    It is a common mis-conception that Red Hat controls GCC either
    74    directly or indirectly.
    75 
    76    While Red Hat does donate hardware, network connections, code and
    77    developer time to GCC development, Red Hat does not control GCC.
    78 
    79    Overall control of GCC is in the hands of the [35]GCC Steering
    80    Committee which includes people from a variety of different
    81    organizations and backgrounds. The purpose of the steering committee
    82    is to make decisions in the best interest of GCC and to help ensure
    83    that no individual or company has control over the project.
    84 
    85    To summarize, Red Hat contributes to the GCC project, but does not
    86    exert a controlling influence over GCC.

    140115   There are lots of ways to get something fixed. The list below may be

    146121   disadvantages.

    152        this is certainly possible, and often happens, there is no
    153        guarantee that it will. You should not expect the same response
    154        from this method that you would see from a commercial support
    155        organization since the people who read GCC bug reports, if they
    156        choose to help you, will be volunteering their time. This
    157        alternative will work best if you follow the directions on
    158        [40]submitting bugreports.

     305Why does libiconv get linked into jc1 on Solaris?
     306
     307   The Java front end requires iconv. If the compiler used to bootstrap
     308   GCC finds libiconv (because the GNU version of libiconv has been
     309   installed in the same prefix as the bootstrap compiler), but the newly
     310   built GCC does not find the library (because it will be installed with
     311   a different prefix), then a link-time error will occur when building
     312   jc1. This problem does not show up so often on platforms that have
     313   libiconv in a default location (like /usr/lib) because then both
     314   compilers can find a library named libiconv, even though it is a
     315   different library.
     316
     317   Using --disable-nls at configure-time does not prevent this problem
     318   because jc1 uses iconv even in that case. Solutions include
     319   temporarily removing the GNU libiconv, copying it to a default
     320   location such as /usr/lib/, and using --enable-languages at
     321   configure-time to disable Java.

    336    If you get a message about unable to find "standard.exp" when trying

    338    tests. You will need to get a newer version of dejagnu from
