Without knowing too much about the gcc_xml patch.
I think you should just try and apply the patch to the 3.1.1 and see
what happends. In emacs if you open the patch and use the
ediff-patch-file, that will allow you see what failed an not.

The tree dumping code in my experience has not changed much between
versions. The tree.h structures are basically frozen.

In any case, the gcc_xml patch is not huge, it should not be more than
a couple of minutes to patch what you have. If you have to download an
older version it will take you longer.

If you have any problems patching, just send them to me, I will look
into it.
