Well, if we're doing Makefile modifications for optimizer problems,
can we _please_ get the following into usr.sbin/rwho/Makefile ?  There's
been an optimizer bug ever since the import of egcs that causes rwho -a
to yield bogus negative values for the hours.  The bug is present still
on both the netbsd-1-4 branch and in netbsd-current...

I've had a pr open (port-i386/8364) for a few months now about the bug
itself, but for now, it would save a lot of annoyance for me to be able
to install a release without having to go back and recompile rwho, which,
in a computer lab environment, tends to be used a lot...
