Why? I don't see any policies on milestones for nonregression unfixed
bugs, but I don't think this bug is a particularly good candidate for one,
given the lack of user demand and that this issue is so technical that GCC
has passed third-party C90 testsuites in the past despite this bug. I
understand how to fix it (though part of doing so properly involves
preparing several DRs on the various obscurities and problems in C99 in
this area), but it is a large amount of work and doesn't seem a priority
at present compared to all the bugs that affect users. I don't see how
this bug could possibly block 3.5 branching or releasing. (If you have
some requirement for a compiler with no known C90-conformance issues,
that's another matter, but hardly a requirement for any given FSF GCC
release.)
