The gccbug script
=================

   To simplify creation of bug reports, and to allow better tracking of
reports, we use the GNATS bug tracking system.  Part of that system is
the `gccbug' script.  This is a Unix shell script, so you need a shell
to run it.  It is normally installed in the same directory where `gcc'
is installed.

   The gccbug script is derived from send-pr, Note: Creating new
Problem Reports..  When invoked, it starts a
text editor so you can fill out the various fields of the report.  When
the you quit the editor, the report is automatically send to the bug
reporting address.

   A number of fields in this bug report form are specific to GCC, and
are explained at `http://gcc.gnu.org/gnats.html'.
