 Well I disagree simply because it is a bug. GCC introduced this
 regression and there's a simple (a few typed characters) fix for
 it.

 It may be an upstream problem, but at least we're identifying it
 and providing a solution.

 As far as what advantage it is, I can't say. But let me turn your
 question around Bruce and ask you: What disadvantage is it to use
 a system function that the packages look for before using an
 internal copy?

 Furthermore, the behavior has *changed*, These packages have
 always used the system copy in the past, so this effectively is
 changing our build method (as minute as it may be) if we don't
 provide the 'fix'.

 And lastly, it causes the package build to 'hang up' for a while
 before timing out and proceeding.

 Just my thoughts.
