Did we lose a patch somewhere?

We're now using --disable-__cxa-atexit on NetBSD, and nothing
elsewhere.  But 3.2 cxa-atexit defaults to off, as far as I can tell...
The patch at the time said:

@@ -62,8 +62,11 @@ CONFARGS = -v \
        --enable-shared \
        --with-system-zlib \
        --enable-nls \

-       --enable-__cxa_atexit
+       --without-included-gettext
+
+ifneq ($(with_cxa_atexit),yes)
+  CONFARGS += --disable-__cxa_atexit
+endif
 
 ifeq ($(with_java),yes)
   CONFARGS += --enable-java-gc=boehm

And that doesn't look right at all.
