The bug system is there to stop us forgetting about problems.  These
porting problems were quite appropriate for this.

If you think the bug backlog is too large go and fix some bugs, don't
complain when people report them !

If these problems really are so trivial then they'll be fixed quickly
and not be an inconvenience.
