Hi
The binutils-2.20 toolchain rebuild is in [testing] for i686. I will do the x86_64 rebuilds in the next day or two. A summary of changes:
kernel-headers - bump to latest
binutils - bump to latest
glibc - grab upstream patchset for proposed future stable release, fix overflow bug (FS#16253), patch to build against latest binutils
gcc - bump to latest, use package spitting (gcc-libs, gcc, gcc-fortran, gcc-objc), move static libraries from gcc-libs to gcc, add gcc-ada package, do not run fixincludes during build.
I will call for a signoff a few days after getting the x86_64 builds done.

Maybe I'm a bit late with this, but could you also split the fortran and objc libs to their own package or leave them in gcc-libs? The compilers for these languages take up 9MB and 18MB of the total package, where the libs are small.
