No, the patch in question
<http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27434>
was incorrectly marked to be a duplicate of
<http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14251>.
They are not the same bug.

On 2005-06-15 you noted in bug#14251 "Coreuitls has been fixed so lets
close this as will not fix."  But this comment is incorrect for the
POSIX incompatibilities fixed by the patch proposed for GCC bug #27434.
This is why it was an error to mark 27434 as a duplicate of 14251.

Can somebody please reopen bug #27434 and apply its patch to GCC?
Unlike the patches proposed for 14251, the 27434 patch shouldn't break
builds on older (pre-POSIX) systems.

Thanks.
