To be a little bit more constructive, you see only the small picture.
I don't care gcc working for you or not. Beside correctness, what I do
care about is about all the other user of gcc not using crosstool-ng.
At this point several path can arise:
 - the issue is real, the patch right, it gets in gcc, and all the
open-source community take benefits
 - the issue is real, but the patch is wrong, then the gcc devs can
fix it correctly and all the open-source community take benefits
 - the issue is ct-ng specific, then Yann would have to fix the issue
inside ct-ng.

That said, you may only care about you, and I can not do anything about it.

 - Arnaud
