Update of bug #24239 (project gnustep):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Declined

Follow-up Comment #1:

This is a known bug in the builtin function provided by gcc to perform the
stack frame count.... which is why gnustep-base catches the sigbus with an
exception handler and terminates the frame count at this point.
If/when the issue is fixed in gcc, we might want to remove the signal
handling code to improve performance of exception handling, but as exceptions
should be rare events, I think even that would be a low priority issue.
