 The sparc builds on babylon5 <http://releng.netbsd.org/b5reports/sparc/>
 also started failing because of this bug when gcc 4.5 was enabled for
 the sparc port with bsd.own.mk 1.679, CVS date 2011.08.17.09.18.38,
 just as had previously happened for the i386 port when gcc 4.5 was
 enabled there.
 
 To restore the usefulness of the babylon5.netbsd.org automated test
 machine, I have now worked around the bug there by renaming the mount
 point of the disk holding the build directories from /bracket to /b.
 With this change, the builds are working again, but the bug is of
 course still there, and the fact that it was successfully worked
 around simply by renaming a directory once again demonstrates its
 fickle nature.  It can still be reproduced at will using the procedure
 given in the initial PR submission.
