It was my understanding from dgilmore's proposal above that we were
going to skip F-15 and just go straight to F-17. Ultimately whether we
do a final F-15 or F-17 it doesn't really matter, the current build
tool chain for them both is derived from gcc 4.6.1

Why? I thought the above process was with the idea of just using the
F-15 work that was done as a base to go straight to F-17 and forget
the rest. Clearly people need to start documenting the exact process
for all to see.
