Yes. It is a simple bug in the port file that has a 4 line solution,
and probably the same 4 line soution across all targets, all ports.
Further, it has a command line work arond for broken ports. There is
no reason to break the compiler further to change the nature of the
bug. This is called pushing a bug around (without fixing it), this is
bad. I'd rather have the same exact bug for a decade than flip flop
between two related bugs.
