This is an interesting idea. Unfortunately your patch is against gcc
3.3.3, which branched from the development version almost five years
ago. The current development version of gcc is the future 4.3.0. All
the code you are patching is completely different now, as much of the
structure of the compiler changed in 4.0, and the C parser was
completely rewritten in 4.1. So your patch can not be used as is.

Unfortunately the FSF requires a signed copyright assignment or
disclaimer. A statement in a mailing list is not considered to be
sufficient. So again your patch can not be used unless and until that
is resolved.
Thanks for your interest, though.
