-The fast-fixincludes system now, to the best of our collective belief,
-correctly implements exactly the same functionality as the previous
-fixincludes/fixinc.* shell scripts. On most systems where many fixes
-are required, this is accomplished by putting most of the functionality
-into a binary executable. On systems that had dedicated fixinc.* shell
-scripts, those scripts are still used by default until they can be
-converted.
-
-KNOWN PROBLEMS
-
-There may be some systems on which the fixinc binary program appears
-to be functional, but fails to work. Current thinking is that this
-is due to some new process limitations (fork() calls) on those
-systems. If you are experiencing this problem, then copy the script
-${src}/gcc/fixinc/inclhack.sh into ${builddir}/gcc/fixinc.sh and run
-make again.
-
-Oh, yes, please also report the problem with a description of
-the failure mode (symptoms) and the output from:
-
- egcs/config.guess
-
-TO DO
-
-* fixincl needs to be converted to use gcc's system.h, libiberty, and
- other portability frameworks.
-
-* FIXME: XXX needs to have tests for file descriptors > 10 or 12 added
- to detect/solve XXX.

-THEORY OF OPS
-
-inclhack.def contains a list of potential fixes to be applied to the
-system headers. This file is processed by autogen to make both a
-shell script and a binary to apply those fixes to your headers.
-If the binary cannot be built, the shell version will be used instead.
-
-If mkfixinc.sh determines that your system needs machine-specific
-fixes that have not yet been applied to inclhack.def, it will install
-and use the current fixinc.* for that system instead.
