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.

+/* It appears address constants may contain casts to variably modified
+   types.  Whether they should be permitted was discussed in
+   <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.std.c/msg/923eee5ab690fd98>
+   <LV7g2Vy3ARF$Ew9Q@romana.davros.org>; since static pointers to VLAs
+   are definitely permitted within functions and may be initialized
+   and such initialization involves implicit conversion to a variably
+   modified type, allowing explicit casts seems appropriate.  Thus,
+   GCC allows them as long as the "evaluated" size expressions do not
+   contain the various operators not permitted to be evaluated in a
+   constant expression, and as long as the result is genuinely
+   constant (meaning that pointer arithmetic using the size of the VLA
+   is generally not permitted).  */
