Last time i looked, it wasn't.  Only the patch to avoid the C++
exception handling was committed.  But i admit i haven't been doing
a cvs update for the GCC sources for quite some time now.

(Unability to install from an NFS-mounted directory.)

I could have done this, yes.  Anyway, i think that the "make install"
stage simply has no business in writing to the source tree if a
previous "make [all]" went through completely.  Anything else i'd
consider a bug.

But it's not our bug, agreed.
