No, but I would be willing to complete one, yes. Are you willing to
send me the appropriate forms, or should I contact someone else?

I included the patch in a reply to my original message to
libstd...@gcc.gnu.org, but I'll attach it here as well.

By the way, the changes that I made are not really that extensive; I
even (unknowingly!) duplicated much of an earlier patch that was
submitted on Bugzilla
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33060>, although the
poster apparently never got around to testing it.

No problem. ^.^
