Yes. The only thing I'm still trying to resolve is the HP/UX cc -Ae
patches. There are some symtab bugs but I'm not going to try to resolve
them.
That suggests:
this weekend - snap (2002-04-06)
next weekend - snap (2002-04-13)
saturday fortnight - release (2002-04-20)

I believe the most recent x86-64 changes have already been pulled into
the branch (well at least the non-gdbserver bits).
Releases are trying to be ~4 months: Mar-Apr, Jul-Aug and Nov-Dec time
frames. (The cron job that tracks the schedule indicates 2002-07-07 so
I think it is broken).
enjoy,
