I just got a reminder about my pending Buildroot patches.

I'm still interested in that patch. We had a long discussion of that
change in the past and keeping in mind importance of the item (libgcc)
it indeed requires careful testing etc.

But maybe if we're OK with the change patch introduces we may try to
apply it and see how many problems autobuilder will produce with it.
