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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
