I think it's an excellent idea to stay in sync with whatever the
in-tree gcc does, but it hasn't been established that the in-tree gcc
will do that, not at all (nor can it be by any consensus on *this*
mailing list). In general, diverging in ways that have nothing to do
with porting is frowned on. I'm also fairly certain that gcc's
behaviour in this regard isn't an accident, so software that only
builds with hacked gcc-3.3* doesn't really build with gcc-3.3*, so a
change in this area by NetBSD would be especially egregious, and it
could make NetBSD less attractive as a development platform.
