BackPort GCC 4.4 - Attempt 2

After working with my Professor Chris Tyler last night to help me overcome the hurdles I've been encountering with Backporting GCC 4.5 features to GCC 4.4.

The problems I am facing are lines in the Makefile.in reject files that do not match the original Makefile.in.

So after working together for a few others we decided to contact Diego again for some assistance. Due to his busy schedule, it may take him a while to respond to our problem.

While I am waiting, I will download a new GCC 4.4 branch, copy the Makefile.in from the GCC 4.5 branch and try to patch GCC 4.4 with the 4.5 file.

Chris noted that I could face alot of problems while doing it.

Here is an exert from our class meeting on IRC

------------------------
22:00 < BoChao> I fired an email to Diego, awaiting for response and also he isn't on IRC at the moment. So maybe tomorrow during business hours I will check with him
22:01 <@ctyler> ok. assuming you can't get with him this week, what shape are things in?
22:01 <@ctyler> do you see any alternate approaches?
22:01 * ctyler been thinking about that this evening, not coming up with much yet
22:01 < BoChao> i was thinking of maybe getting the branch again
22:02 <@ctyler> seems reasonable, but backup the current stuff first
22:02 < BoChao> and copy the makefile.in from the 4.5 release and put it in the 4.4 backport
22:02 < BoChao> then patch from that
22:02 < BoChao> and see what kind of results i get
22:03 <@ctyler> interesting approach, worth a shot but you'll have to remove a bunch of stuff, and it will be hard to see what needs to be removed
22:03 <@ctyler> because there's stuff in there to drive other features besides plugins
22:03 < BoChao> ahh
22:03 < BoChao> i guess I'm up for a challenge
22:04 <@ctyler> cool :-)
---------------------------------

Time to put this in gear
