I wonder why not all patches are submitted.

So trunk might already have patch applied to ARM/embedded-*-branch. Is it reasonable to assume that the official gcc-5-branch has at least all the ARM/embedded-4_8-branch patches (and maybe some patch from ARM/embedded-4_9-branch)? best regards -- Et nunc, auxilium solis, vincam!
