 What with the revelation in:
 
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2016/10/18/msg078519.html
 
 I hoped this might have some bearing on my problems in this PR.
 
 After updating I rebuilt everything from empty DESTDIR/objdir.
 
 So far, my amd64 host fails in the same fashion as originally reported.
 
 I still cannot fathom why my local builds misbehave so, but TNF snapshots
 (and apparently everyone else's) don't.  About the only thing left is that
 my host OS is 7.0_STABLE while the TNF build hosts run 6.1.
 
 I also build 7.0_STABLE for i386, amd64, and sparc and 6.1_STABLE for i386
 on the same hosts and they don't have any problems.
 
 It's only -current after the switch to GCC 5.4.0 that has trouble.  I seem
 to recall I had no problems during the brief period that GCC 5.3.x was in
 use.
 
 (Also, I used to not have problems with non-x86 platforms even with
 GCC 5.4.0, but now macppc exhibits the same problem.)
