Question on developing patches

[c-grant]

Not an issues, but a question since I didn't see explicit guidance around this.

While trying to get the Ada Canadian Cross (Linux to windows to m68k bare metal) to compile I ran into a few issues with Ada source in GCC 10.5.0.
I pulled in specific line changes from a handful of files in GCC 11.4.0, but not necessarily a wholesale commit to diff between.
I made a patch file, stuffed it in with the rest of the 10.5.0 patches and all was successfully applied (for me) and the build no longer errors out.

Is this a kind of patch you would want comitted?

I can only really test it on the few configurations I'm building, which are all Canadian Crosses.

Normaly we want to get fixes upstream but in cases of backporting it's ok.

Hard to say without seeing the patch. We're already carrying a lot of things that have been back-ported so I have no specific objection in principle. Feel free to raise a PR and we can go from there.
