"So here is the report for September 2008, suitably sanitized to remove any internal-only details:
"Whilst there has been very little change in the binutils this month,
there has been a lot going on in gcc-land...
"Firstly a new register allocator has been added, with the promise
that this will bring a performance boost to all of the ports.
(Register allocation is one of the hardest tasks for any compiler,
and GCC has had several different allocators during its history)."
