Hm, narwhal just reported in green, which I was not expecting, and so did
frogmouth.  So brolga seems like an outlier.  I think reverting might be
an overreaction.  At this point the question is more like "how is brolga
different from the other non-MSVC Windows critters?".  Perhaps Andrew
can offer some insight.
