Is that a threat? If not, is there a reason behind this? |

If you mean modifying the build system to actually work properly, then I |
| 13 |
have no problem with that. USE=vanilla refers to runtime behaviour, not |
| 14 |
the build system. (See use.desc.) Specifically, if patches are applied |
| 15 |
that make sure GCC compiles, and those patches make sure GCC compiles to |
| 16 |
the same program intended by the GCC devs at that release, those patches |
| 17 |
are appropriate, IMO. None of the GCC patches I have problems with are |
| 18 |
of this nature. |

If you mean vanilla GCC + build fixes is unusable, then I'd appreciate |
| 21 |
an explanation, because as far as I know, it can work just fine as a |
| 22 |
system compiler, and plenty of people, at some times myself included, |
| 23 |
use it as one. |
