It's still a stretch on the word "valid".
It's probably reasonable to say that this is not absolutely a
showstopper, as well-written code presumably won't contain this kind of
construct.
I suppose one approach would be to decree the C front end broken, and
require that it replace the problematic constructs with "abort()", as
Joseph mentioned as a possibility. I don't know how tractable that is,
but you and Joseph are the C front end maintainers, so you probably do. :-)
