The anonymous CVS has been taken offline for security reasons.  See
http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html

You can download a snapshot from 20031230, which is what I've been

I've attached a copy of the current results.  John, would you be able
to make the appropriate config changes, if any?

Of course we have to account for the fact that the test library won't

library (or anywhere else) given the frequency with which the former
breaks.
