It is.

It all depends on where we are in our release cycle vs. GCC's.  Ie, we
don't update what is in /usr/src every week.  We do update the GCC ports
frequently (every 2 weeks or so).

It is worth the effort as the toolchain maintainers may take the stance
that making these changes aren't worth the maintaince effor that taking
something off the vendor branch entails.  So the effort is your only way
to make these const'ifying changes.
