   | So, is NetBSD 10 supposed to be built with a modern GCC?
 
 Yes, I agree with Lloyd that building the tools with modern compilers
 should be supported, not belittled.
 
 Modern build systems a more useful use-case than trying to
 support build.sh (et al) in the inverse situation of very old
 compilers / build hosts.

 This is a totally reasonable request, especially as the fix has been
 in -current for 5 months (since 2023-01-17).
 
 I've reopened the PR and set as needs-pullups.
