I _am_ giving them time.

I'm not standing up on my soap-box and demanding that this be fixed. As I
mentioned, I've been rather careful about how I use regparm exactly
because I know gcc has some problems.

However, I will continue to ignore developers who don't say "we will fix
it eventually", but instead say "let's remove the feature, we'll never be
able to fix it". If I respected that kind of mentality I would be using
WNT. I don't.
