I believe it does compile at least the one benchmark this affects.

This PR will is about the that 4.0.1 won't be able to compile this one 
benchmark. However, given that SPEC 2005 isn't released yet, that's not such 
a big deal if the problem gets fixed in 4.0.2. I personally would like to see 
it fixed sooner rather than later, but I don't care too much if that is 
before or after 4.0.1 is released -- for me, the annoyance is just that if my 
nightly builds fail regularly, I don't catch other regressions that pop up 
over time, and things are only discovered at a later time...

Cheers
 Wolfgang
