There are several fixes and you are confusing them here.

The most important fixes were done by Kalvis recently and have not been
integrated in upstream (official) gcc yet. I hope this will happe soonish
too.

We have those fixes in -current for gcc 10.5 and with that a full build is
supposedly possible. We pulled them up to -10 (also with gcc 10.5) and
this is the first report that they are not working there.

Maciej did the upstream work and we have it with gcc 12 in -current (but
not yet enabled by default because it does not work as is).

Without Kalvis' changes that gcc 12 is not able to build NetBSD natively
(but Kalvis did a version of the changes for gcc 12, they just have not
gone into the NetBSD tree).
