I know about the principle of configure options for hierarchical configure
situations. I was asking the empirical question about what's actually
affected in a gcc build.

I think any changes necessary for that at this point will be on the GCC
side. So I hope someone there will take up the challenge.

Understood. I had thought this had already gone in (evidently because I
wasn't really paying attentino), and it's a shame if it will be delayed
past 2.16, but so it goes.
