OK, I really tried. I have read the gcc section of FAQ, I have looked
at the files mentioned, I still don't get it:

Where are the patches that I have to apply to the original
FSF gcc-2.2.2.tar.Z in order to get the sources for gcc-2.2.2d?

Or aren't there any patches at all and does `d' only reflect an
increment of the "bootstrap" compiler, increments that were necessary
due to kernel changes, shared library changes, etc?

Or, re-formulating the question in yet another way, if there was a
native `cc' in Linux (as there is in interactive unix that I used
before) could I use FSF gcc-2.2.2.tar.Z to build my gcc (as I could
with ISC) or would I have to apply patches before I say `configure
i386--linux' and `make'?

(I have to recompile gcc-2.2.2 as I have a patch that fixes a template
bug not fixed in gcc-2.3.2 and I need that fix in order to continue my
project.)

Thanks

    Michael
