I was able to take some smaller updates and applied them but most of the changes from upstream require some work to get into useful shape on gcc-4.2.1. FWIW, Apple did a lot of local code changes and on top of that they merged stuff from gcc43 and later CodeSourcery. It's not too difficult to take code from Apple's gcc and/or llvm-gcc but it requires more time than I am willing to spend atm ... and there is clang now :). Cheers, Pedro.
