I developed a gcc patch that does not change the code generation for

whether such a patch has any chance to be applied to either gcc
upstream
or gcc in Debian.

Without looking at the patch this is already how GCC should behave for all targets.

So, would you actually favor the inclusion of Michael's changes?

Having gcc allow to work with such code would actually allow us
to bootstrap ghc on m68k again which would be awesome :).
Not as-is. But they make a starting point for trying to address the problem -- particularly the testcases, even if they are ill-formed to a certain degree.
