Perhaps you should ping the original patch, with a CC to the build
maintainers in case they missed the patch, or are/were on vacation, or
whatever. A simple ping on the original thread would do more good than
sniping in an unrelated thread.
Speaking only for myself, I also think it's unfortunate that the above
impression is the impression that you took away from the "dragonegg in
FSF gcc?" thread; I don't think that's a proper reading of the thread at
all.
