You response is self contradicting, because it first says they are independent cases for binutils and gcc4 then in the last paragraph you say "The architectural Big Picture as to why a certain directory structure has been chosen will become obvious once the first GCC4 ARC Case is submitted." I want to see that case submitted (and maybe even approved) before this case is approved.
Note I'm talking about the architecture here, I understand the delivery dependency. I'm not at this stage even saying that there is an ARC case dependency just that I can't see the big picture until the gcc4 case is submitted and I'm not prepared to allow this case to complete until I've seen it. I would like this case to be put in 'waiting need spec' until the gcc4 case is submitted. -- Darren J Moffat
