No issue at all. With gcc builds, string constness should be reasonably

If only that were true. The failure mode is at runtime, not build
time, and other than maybe Mike Sullivan, I'm not aware of anyone
routinely using the builds. You can use -Wwrite-strings to find these
problems at compile time, but the false positive rate is absurdly
high.
But aren't OpenSolaris users finding these issues as they may run
gcc builds?
(The kernel must be clean as it the AMD bits were gcc compiled for
a while and I figured multiple folks in the OS community would run
gcc compiled builds; what are the Distros doing? Nexenta, in particular?
I'm not sure it makes that much difference. It would still need to be
properly tested.
