I agree - where I work, it's a goal to be able to make the same claim,
that our clients should be able to confidently install our nightly
snapshots into their production environment. But we're not even close to
actually achieving it - going a week without breaking our integration
builds would be a start, never mind the near perfection required.

In /lib, no. I do have that file in /usr/lib though, which is where gcc
normally installs to. Also in /tools/lib, since I've not removed that
yet.
