I fail to see how I could blur the truth about something that is 
publicly available for all to read. Of course the changes are there in 
both passes, I never said otherwise.

As far as it being unnecessary hackery is another matter. I certainly 
prefer editing macros in headers over reverting gcc to code that the 
devs explicitly removed. It's notable that when you continued to explain 
to them your build method/procedure the response was invariably 'use 
sysroot'.

I suppose you'll next say that the devs didn't understand your intention 
or method even though you thoroughly explained yourself and they even 
took the trouble to walk through your ref build.

For those unfamiliar see:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35532

For those not interested in reading the entire bug history, the last 
comment by a dev was:

"Using the sysroot flags is the solution for Greg's scenario. In fact I 
would say it makes his job easier."
