I was actually going to try and bootstrap GCC 13.2.0 on that machine but
really the effort is not worth it. So yes, I went with what the default
gcc is on NetBSD 9.3 and also dirt simple CFLAGS and now I see  :

Well at least the error: macro "static_assert" thing has vanished.

There is no good reason for this bug report to exist anymore. If ever.

Also, I finally shut down the last sparc server I had. If I want a
big endian RISC type machine then the IBM POWER equipment is far
better in these modern times.
