Well, the web-site says "fixes for regressions only" - this is
probably a long-standing bug.   And it is not a patch I'd qualify
as "obvious" or "without risk", though I think it is fairly
clean and safe.

However, I don't know the precise policy, so feel free to propose
the patch on the gcc-patches list.
