Mmmmm. No. Re-read the ChangeLog, and the complete patch as posted on
gcc-patches. Without it, static linking gets duplicate symbols.
There's probably another way to solve the underlying issue, that avoids
breaking AIX: if you could review my original patch on gcc-patches
you'll see what I was up against, and how to see the problem on linux.
I believe the fundamental issue is static linkage of static, non-const,
non-POD data members.

Gaaaaah. Please don't. I'd rather add AIX hacks to the testsuite, not
the library.
