Well, what do we do about dead projects? If we ignore the part of fixes
going upstream (which can happen late or never), we still have to decide
how to handle those. It currently works on NetBSD, but it can break when
it decides to move to GCC 3.4 or later and use the builtin support.
Given that it makes the compiler more intelligent and should really be
considered part of the function call interface, that makes a lot of
sense.
