then the gcc-3.0 prerelease should be removed from testing ASAP. The
libgcc ABI is binary incompatible with the final release and should
not even considered for release.

Better replace the gcc-3.0 prerelease with the final release. IMHO
even if sfs cannot be built on hppa this shouldn't affect the
migration of gcc-3.0 to testing.
