Ok, but that means we have an agreement here.  First we need to figure
out if we can do it (and we can start with that in any way now/today)
and then if that appears to work, make it permanent in GCC.

Given that Markus appears to have a machine that can recompile world on
Interix within 2 days, I'd suggest him to try it.  (Compared to my
machine which a) has a broken Portage and b) needs over a week to do it.)
