[osol-discuss] Project proposal: integrate GCCfss into SFW

Hi, In some sense this project is a supplement project to "support GCCfss and gcc 4 in ON" project, but can be considered separately. GCCfss (GCC for SPARC Systems) is a big step forward on sparc comparing to /usr/sfw/bin/gcc. Higher performance, higher reliability, internally supported. GCCfs

"The exact version of GCC to be bundled" is an exhausting topic. We can decide on the final GCCfss/gcc version latter. That's why the proposal is named "support GCCfss and gcc 4 in ON" I believe that the set of changes we have for ON will be equally useful for any gcc 4.x version. Both sparc and
