Oh, that's good to know. I might have observed it in one of the ALPHAs
given that I tried this last month.

Are there any more-recent images available with the fix? I checked the
snapshots directory but couldn't see any. And attempting to buildworld from
12 results in:

--- dummy.o ---
cc  -O2 -pipe -fno-common -I/usr/src/tools/build/libc-bootstrap  -g -MD
 -MF.depend.dummy.o -MTdummy.o -std=gnu99 -Wno-format-zero-length
 -Wsystem-headers -Wall -Wno-format-y2k -W -Wno-unused-parameter
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wreturn-type
-Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wunused-parameter
-Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Winline -Wnested-externs -Wredundant-decls
-Wold-style-definition -Wno-pointer-sign   -Wno-unused-result
 -I/usr/obj/usr/src/powerpc.powerpc64/tmp/legacy/usr/include -c
/usr/src/tools/build/dummy.c -o dummy.o
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-result"
*** [dummy.o] Error code 1

which I'm guessing this is because of the ancient gcc 4.2... so what's the
magic to rebuild 13, if possible?

Thanks
