Thank you for the patch. It looks small enough that we don't need a copyright assignment. The GCC trunk is currently only open for regression fixes (and we also allow changes to C++17 library features while our C++17 support is considered experimental). As soon as the trunk re-opens for normal changes I'll apply your patch. For now I've updated the bug report with a link to your patch, so we won't forget about it.
