There are two platforms on which mainline is broken:

  * the compiler built on i386-mingw32 is unusable, see PR30589

Both regressions were introduced by Geoffrey Keating
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-11/msg00003.html) in a "C99
extern inline" patch. Fixincludes were then created for glibc systems.
In both cases, I'm ready to debug (I attached the full preprocessed
source of minimal examples to both PR) and test patches, but I simply
don't know whom I should ping to get bootstrap working again:
Geoffrey, who introduced the change that broke so many platforms, or
the maintainers for these branches? (it might be worth noting at that
point that netbsd doesn't have a maintainer listed)
This is just my opinion.  Technically, Geoff is responsible for
breaking bootstrap with his patch.  As a practical matter, Geoff
probably does not have access to those platforms, so while he knows a
lot about gcc and has the ability to approve the patches, he won't be
able to test them, so you will do better to send your patches to the
attention of the appropriate maintainers as well as Geoff.
As it turns out, I do now have access to a NetBSD system, and will  
look at that problem when I next get time.
My understanding from 30589 is that a sufficiently recent version of  
mingw32 has solved the problem.
