obtained gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 from upstream website;upstream

verified gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2.sig;
imported gcc-4.6.4 source tree from verified upstream tarball.

downloading a git-generated archive based on the 'upstream' tag
should provide you with a source tree that is binary identical
to the one extracted from the above tarball.

if you have obtained the source via the command 'git clone',
however, do note that line-endings of files in your working
directory might differ from line-endings of the respective
files in the upstream repository.

+Dynamic loading support requires that executables be linked with -ldld.
+The alternative is to build the collector without defining DYNAMIC_LOADING
+in gcconfig.h and ensuring that all garbage collectable objects are
+accessible without considering statically allocated variables in dynamic
+libraries.
+
+The collector should compile with either plain cc or cc -Ae.  Cc -Aa
+fails to define _HPUX_SOURCE and thus will not configure the collector
+correctly.
+
+Incremental collection support was reccently added, and should now work.
+
+In spite of past claims, pthread support under HP/UX 11 should now work.
+Define GC_HPUX_THREADS for the build.  Incremental collection still does not
+work in combination with it.
+
+The stack finding code can be confused by putenv calls before collector
+initialization.  Call GC_malloc or GC_init before any putenv calls.
