This is just my opinion.  Technically, Geoff is responsible for
breaking bootstrap with his patch.  As a practical matter, Geoff
probably does not have access to those platforms, so while he knows a
lot about gcc and has the ability to approve the patches, he won't be
able to test them, so you will do better to send your patches to the
attention of the appropriate maintainers as well as Geoff.

There is in fact a NetBSD maintainer: Jason Thorpe,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  (Last I heard, he also works for Apple.)

By the way, I've started looking into straightening out what I
consider to be the current extern inline mess.
