Gentoo patches 3rd party apps for new GCC versions?  I would have
expected the original package author to be doing that, not people from a

Is gentoo developing the patches in mjc, or just including them?  Most
of the patch authors I recognize from the linux-kernel mailing list - do
many of them work with gentoo?
