 I am pretty sure that this is duplicate for PR bin/4254. If so, this is at 
 least 3rd PR on this topic (second is bin/4692).
 
 PR 4254 contains a patch. I run the patched make for more than 2 months
 now. In particular, I did 'make world' several times. Dear committers! Could 
 somebody please commit the patch?
