I've been playing around with the egcs snapshots, and newer ones rely on a
modified version of gperf 2.7 (gperf 2.1 is the version currently in 3.0).
Can someone who actually understands what gperf does:

1) pronounce whether 2.7 is suitable for inclusion in the base tree (i.e.
backwards-compatible for our needs, or whatever), and

2) take a look at 
ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/gperf-2.7-19981006.pat
and see whether this is a worthwhile patch to include?

If not, what would be the best way to make the patched 2.7 available for use
in building egcs (a gperf27 port?) I haven't checked with obrien, but from my
own investigations this is probably one reason the ports snapshot hasn't been
updated in the past month and a half.
