Doesn't seem so.
A hello-world-type program still gives "RRS text relocation" (Btw,
what does this mean?) for cout, but results in a working binary.
But I have a little program that also uses the setw() and setiosflags()
manipulators. I boiled it down to this:

// Kleines Programm mit setw() und rechtsbuendiger Ausgabe

#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

int main (void)
{
	int i = 8;

	cout << setiosflags (ios::left) << setw(22) << "Zahl:" << i << endl;
	return (0);
}

which gives this linker error message:

 ld -e start -dc -dp /usr/lib/crt0.o -L/usr/libexec /var/tmp/cc00231a1.o -lg++ -lstdc++ -lm -lgcc -lc -lgcc
/var/tmp/cc00231a1.o: Undefined symbol `_setw__Fi' referenced from text
segment
/var/tmp/cc00231a1.o: Undefined symbol `_setiosflags__FUl' referenced
from text segment

I applied the two older patches some time ago and then the latest patch
you mentioned above.

I'd really appreciate if it was checked in. I don't get working kernels
with the most recent csc.o (posted to this mailinglist in December
IIRC).

But this law is still true: "Software is a gas. It will always take up
all available space." ;-)

So long, Markus
