Sure, why not?  We make similar changes for much smaller benefits.

It's worth bearing in mind that it is causing you trouble because 1) you
are not using the recommend and tested build procedure, and 2) you are
using the non-recommended procedure starting with a compiler that is 7
years old.  You have perfectly good reasons for doing that, but the
reality is that if you want to do this kind of thing, you have to be
prepared for problems.

You don't need to try it either way, because if <tr1/unordered_map> is
unavailable the Go frontend will simply use <ext/hash_map>.  And if
<ext/hash_map> is unavailable, the Go frontend will use <map>.  In other
words, the Go frontend is already prepared to fall back, based on the
results of configure tests.  The problem here is that the configure test
sees that <tr1/unordered_map> is available, but does not realize that
although the header is available it does not actually work when using
-fno-rtti.
