Comment(by anatol.pomozov@…):

 More information:
 I have 10.6.4 macosx. The warning is reproducible on the current gcc46
 port. So the patch is applicable only for gcc46.

 gcc from xcode is too outdated and does not contains few features that I
 need (e.g. thread local variables) so I looked for gcc42 alternatives. I
 tried gcc45 from macports and I found that it is unusable for macosx
 development - it is not possible to compile a program that uses Core
 framework. From other side GCC 4.6 is *very* usable. I use it for
 development now - and everything looks fine.

 It is possible to use gcc46 without the patch provided by gcc team - but
 it might confuse people who tries to use it. I would prefer to have the
 patch included to macports (assuming that it does not introduce any other
 bugs).
