-It is not necessary to apply the "backend" patch to an egcs based gcc
-release.  The files in this directory are included in the egcs distribution
-for historical purposes only.

-
-This directory contains .diff files for various GNU CC distributions
-supported by this version of GNU Fortran.
-
-The name of a file includes which gcc version to which it applies.
-For example, 2.7.2.3.diff is the patch file for gcc version 2.7.2.3.
-
-To apply a .diff file to, say, gcc 2.7.2.3, one might use the following
-command (where the current directory contains the gcc source distribution
-after merging into it the g77 source distribution, which would be
-named gcc-2.7.2.3 in this example):
-
-    patch -p1 -d gcc-2.7.2.3 < gcc-2.7.2.3/f/gbe/2.7.2.3.diff
-
-
-This version of g77 is best combined with gcc versions 2.7.2.3.
-
-However, note that applying any of these patches does _not_ update
-the gcc.info* files that constitute the Info documentation for gcc.
-Therefore, after applying the patch, you must rebuild the Info
-documentation yourself via:
-
-  cd gcc; make -f Makefile.in gcc.info
-
-If the above command doesn't work because you don't have makeinfo
-installed, you are STRONGLY encouraged to obtain the most recent
-version of the GNU texinfo package (texinfo-3.11.tar.gz as of this
-writing), build, and install it, then try the above command (as
-makeinfo is part of texinfo).
-
-This distribution of g77 is not supported for versions of gcc prior
-to 2.7.2.3.
-
-If you are using a version of gcc more recent than the most
-recent .diff file's version, try the most recent .diff ONLY
-if the difference is in the third field.  E.g. the above
-patch might work on gcc-2.7.3 or gcc-2.7.4 if these were
-released.  On the other hand, it probably wouldn't work for
-a more major release like gcc-2.8.0 or gcc-3.0.0, and you
-shouldn't try it.  If the .diff file is missing, don't bother
-asking <fortran@gnu.ai.mit.edu> for it -- it is certainly
-being worked on.  In the meantime, watch our progress at
-<ftp://alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu/g77.plan> for information on support
-for the recent versions of gcc.
