There are a couple of things here that should be worked out first before the CTTE can make a decision: 1) Has gcc's upstream been approached about including this patch? What was their response? 2) Has the archive been successfully rebuilt with the proposed patch? 3) Since Matthias has indicated that he doesn't have the resources to steward this patch in Debian, who is going to work on maintaining it if upstream isn't interested in the patch and the CTTE decides to override Matthias? Alternatives to patching gcc include making dpkg-buildflags more prevalent, a wrapper that we require to install on buildds (coupled with throwing away binary builds), or some combination of the above.
