Since it's a bad idea and noone in their right mind will try to use it, it
won't hurt if you put that diff in because noone should notice, right?
Not fixing bugs with the motivation that there are other bugs feels like a
catch 22.

I really don't want OpenBSD to get into the position of other operating systems
that must compile the system with different versions of gcc for every
architecture. Right now we can almost get a working system for sparc64 with
some makefile changes (-O0 on some files) and some minor compiler fixes.
