Yes.
I proposed a patch for that, but after endless discussions, people couldn't
agree on the details.
In particular, joerg@ repeatedly turned down proposed solutions with his
I-know-better-attitude -- he may in fact really know better, but failed to
explain what the particular problem with a proposed solution was.
There were multiple attempts to get this sorted out correctly, but each and
every one was discussed to death with people resorting to works-for-me-type
workarounds.
See https://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/gcc/ for gdt@'s heroic attempts to summarize
the state of affairs and various discussion threads.
