I can send it. You can simply calculate what this patch does. It works for me,
and it makes code for 99.99% of my tasks better. Are you suppose I'll get from
gcc team something except rotten tomatos?

They know all arguments I can say. But, except arguments, there are
argument weights. Their weights are such that they think it will be correct
to add such feature and spoil all code around with alignment needed
for extremely small amount of one. And my messages shan't change
argument weights for them.

I don't want to talk with them. I want simply exclude this crap from
my systems. Well, this will be yet another patch to my set of local
patches applied after cvsup.

No need.
