  55. gcc-2.95.2-win32-shared-seg.diff .... Support shared attribute.
  56.  
  57. If you trust my packaging, you can use ../gcc-2.95.2-x86-win32.diff that
  58. contains all the individual patches. After you apply the patches, you
  59. can look at changes relative to gcc-2.95.2 source tree in the various
  60. ChangeLog.mk files.
  61.  
  62. I recommend that you treat the broken down patches just for exposition and
  63. use the combined patch file instead. 
  64.  
  65. To apply the patch:
  66.   
  67.   % cd gcc-2.95.2
  68.   % patch -p1 -s < /tmp/THE_PATCH_FILE
  69.  
  70. The master patch WILL patch the auto-generated files, such as 
  71. gcc/cp/parse.c, so in theory you should not need bison/flex/etc. In
  72. reality however, you will probably need lex/flex/bison/autoconf
  73. etc since the timestamps will be wrong.
  74.  
  75. individual patches however do not patch the auto-generated
  76. files.
