* Neal Gompa:
Seems like a worthy effort to me. Though instead of having branches for redhat-rpm-config, you could add macros to flag it on and off by default, and have releng configure a side-tag for you that turns it on for package builds (we can have macros set for build tags).
Is it possible to set a dist tag suffix for the branch, then? In combination with the flag approach, that would actually be more convenient (assuming the gcc folks are okay with a conditionally applied patch for that branch).
Thanks, Florian
