the question is where you want to submit a patch. assuming you want to integrate gpc with the current (development) gcc, you should work with the current gcc CVS HEAD branch. IIRC the gcc branch will open again after the gcc-3.3 branch point (October/November 2002). Then you have a window of about four month to submit major additions.
Working with the gcc-3.1.1 sources, your work probably won't be accepted by the gcc upstream developers, although it might be easier then to port it to 3.3 or 3.4.
I think it's better to first get GPC working and stable with any gcc-3 version, and then think about integration.
The changes between gcc-2 and gcc-3 are probably bigger than between the different gcc-3 versions.
