gcc 4.2.0, r120684 backport and Process_1/Process_5

David,
 At the moment I am assuming that r120684 requires
some additional patches. Specifically, I noticed
that...
r120801 | andreast | 2007年01月15日 16:24:42 -0500 (2007年1月15日) | 6 lines
2007年01月15日 Andreas Tobler <a.tobler@schweiz.org>
 * os_dep.c (defined(MPROTECT_VDB) && defined(DARWIN)): Adjust mail
 reference.
 (catch_exception_raise): Fix typo in the I386 exc_state.
r120853 | andreast | 2007年01月17日 07:01:45 -0500 (2007年1月17日) | 4 lines
2007年01月17日 Andreas Tobler <a.tobler@schweiz.org>
 * include/gc_config.h.in: Regenerate.
r120874 | mrs | 2007年01月17日 15:12:51 -0500 (2007年1月17日) | 2 lines
 * os_dep.c: Fix i686-apple-darwin9 builds.
all seem to be cleanups associated with r120684. I am going to
try a build on powerpc-apple-darwin8 and i686-apple-darwin8
tonight with r120684, r120801, r120853 and r120874 backported
to gcc 4.2.0 and see if that eliminates the random Process_#
tests failures and reduces the libjava failures further on
Macintel.
