Interestingly, PR14571 must refer to the pre-bugzilla bug tracker system. There was one on sourceware.org, but its web interface is no longer operating, and scraps of the database files that are still archived seem not to go up to 14571. Likewise, no google hits. So I'm at a loss, can't find orginal supporting data either, and that's a bummer. - FChE
