However , once gcc's specs are changedm linking with the libraries they
provide will fail - which is what I was talking about. (Until every
package gets repackaged, at a significant time cost to the package
maintainers).
And as this would be (at best) an interim fix until gcc is corrected, I
for one do not support implementing this - the time cost would get gcc
fixed many times over.
