Please see PR 15514. The problem is that simply "cat"'ing two config.h
files together duplicates "#defines". The method currently in
toolchain2netbsd, of listing exceptions, requires ongoing maintenance.
Introducing a generic collating function, on the other hand, solves the
problem neatly, once and for all.
