I don't see closure on this issue yet, but I think I have something
to contribute :-)

So can we write a test for this? Remember, we don't have autoconf
to help us.

If we go with that patch, then I'd recommend we only install it
in the egcs-1.0.x branch -- we fix the mainline tree in the
"right" way, whatever that is.
Thus the band-aid's lifespan is only as long as egcs-1.0.x's life
span.

That's another possibility.
Again, I'm leaving the decision in the hands of Jason, HJ, Ulrich
and Mark if he wants to get involved. I'm not qualified to render
a decision based on the pure technical merits of any proposed patch.
