recent progress on X86-64 toolchain and a couple general questions


  as i mentioned recently, i've test built a couple x86-64 toolchains
against the SVN repository that are a bit newer than any listed in
dan's results matrix.  while that matrix lists a successful build with

	gcc-4.0.2
	glibc-2.3.6
	binutils-2.16.1

i've done successful builds with gcc-4.0.3 and gcc-4.0.4 (after
creating the appropriate patch dirs).

  at the moment, i'm trying the following:

	gcc-4.0.4
	glibc-2.3.6
	binutils-2.17

if that works, that will probably be my canonical build for what i'm
doing until i have time to mess with gcc-4.1.x.

  as for the general questions, is there any reason not to start
testing builds with binutils-2.17?  the entire result matrix only goes
as high as binutils-2.16.1, even though binutils-2.17 has been out
since june of 2006.

  same thing with gdb-6.6 instead of gdb-6.5, although gdb-6.6 has
been out only since dec of 2006.  it seems that, at some point, it's
probably a policy decision of some kind to move up to the latest
release of the software components for any newer build testing.  just
my $0.02.
