I agree with this, for what it's worth - my thinking was
"commit a quick solution to satisfy netbsd bulk builds so I can go to
bed with my headache" :-) I suspect the affected packages had little
chance on other platforms.

The rest of the condition should likely be dependent on
USE_NATIVE_GCC, and also consider importing the patch from dreckly
for sane integer-based compiler version tests rather than string-based
tests.

I don't think this is a good solution for older platforms.
Mostly it results in stuff being broken.
