Yes it will be true going forward. ia64 was skipped because it was on
the vendor branch and I haven't yet created a FSF submittable patch for
you. :-)

It will be in my patch to you.

The FSF was hostile towards FreeBSD/alpha -- the favor is being
returned. I pointed out the problem and got "I dont' care" from them.

That said, good catch! I don't know why I didn't do it that way before.
Committed to FreeBSD tree.

Thank you. Can you also sync up the code style from FreeBSD into the FSF
tree?

I would like the differences to be taken care of in the FSF tree. You
know the reason there is such a large diff (and it really irritates me).
Because of that reason committing the changes into the FSF tree has been
too high a PITA. I had hoped you would take a diff from FreeBSD's
src/contrib/gcc to the FSF tree and commit it to the FSF tree.
