When it was committed to NetBSD isn't at all relevant. We don't scour downstream uses for patches that might be useful and since few, if any, of the most active GCC developers use NetBSD we're unlikely to trip over the problem ourselves. That makes us reliant upon others to report bugs and sometimes to even provide patches to fix platform specific issues. Krister indicated back when you first posted the patch in Jan that he was going to fix this and other issues in specs handling, but I don't see that Krister ever followed up. I wouldn't at all be surprised if this needs further work for pthreads. But I'll have to leave investigation there to folks that use NetBSD. I've installed your patch on the trunk. jeff
