I'll take care of it, but it might be better to put off till 4.3 

I'll let release-y people sort it out, but given the bug, that seems
like a bad idea to me.

I think this is exactly the sort of issue that should be fixed for 4.2. There's nothing particularly weird about this code, it doesn't use any GNU extensions, it looks to have come from real-world code, and it affects multiple common targets. So, I think the P1 marker is reasonable.

A conservative fix is certainly worth considering; if we can't get exact information, falling back to less-exact information might be an acceptable intermediate state.
