Great!

Any progress on porting that configuration patch to mainline, and addressing
the various questions I asked about the config.gcc entries?  Conceptually
separate pieces of it can be submitted piecemeal as it gets ready; so, for
instance, the libc_r/libpthread bit as one change; any fixincludes issues
as another; etc.  (That's actually preferable, in fact, since it's easier
to review, and problems in one part don't necessarily hold up other parts.)

As a configury maintainer, I would really like GCC to configure correctly
for OpenBSD out of the box, so I appreciate this work.
