This is OK for mainline. I'll stick my neck out and agree with both
you and Gerald that improving gcc 3.4 compile-time is both a bug-fix
and regression fix and is therefore suitable during current stage3.
I also appreciate that keeping this sort patch current can be major
headache, and so a speedy review is appropriate.

Please also include the target-triple next time. I'll sleep easier

Many thanks to both you and Zdenek.
