Comment (by tobias.netzel@…):
It seems (I haven't investigated) that Apple applied all bug fixes that
still had happened under GPLv2 and made different fixes for other things
(which I replaced with the official fixes). They definitely left out some
important ones, which is why it is VERY helpful to merge them. And yes,
the port would be GPLv3 then; the patch from gcc 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 changes
all license headers to GPLv3
However maybe one should create another port and deprecate this one in
favor of the new one, in a manner that allows to install the original
buggy one from Apple but warning the user that there is another one that
has more bug fixes applied.
