Not agreed. It *can* be helped. It might not be pretty, but it is  
possible. And after eliminating that, *any* future gcc optimization can no  
longer break it (assuming it is otherwise correct, of course).

All of this mess is a consequence of lying to the compiler. The solution  
is rather obvious: don't do that.
