I seemed to have trolled the GCC ML pretty hard by asking about the
deprecation of an arch, RIOS1 and RIOS2.

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-06/msg00811.html

This would prevent PowerPC 601 support in NetBSD if GCC 4.6 is ever
imported.  It also affects the rs6000 port that uses RSC, POWER1 and
POWER2.

Is there an expectation that a newer GCC will be imported for future
releases?  Does NetBSD maintain patches in such a case?
