Thanks for the report, Wookey. It looks like I already fixed this in
cross-gcc-dev=128. This doesn't affect stable, obviously. Did you want
to deal with that somehow, like in a backport, or something? My feeling
is that it isn't even close to being worth the effort, but I'm open to
other opinions.

Leaving this issue open for now.
