And meanwhile, as I mentioned on the bug report. for anyone who cannot
tolerate either the current situation, I cooked a low-fat/light/zero
workaround at:

  <https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/gcc-on-diet.git>

If there's demand and no one else does it I could perhaps be bothered
to create a proper Debian repo somewhere, maybe. :)
