Do you have any estimate of compile-time speed impact of this patch?
Even comparison for GCC (say, FSF TOT as of yesterday) build time
with and without this patch will give us some estimate. We would
like to avoid slowdown.

Does it necessary to make this change? I do not know, but there may be
people out there who are relying on it (and may be considering it as GCC
extension).
