As I said in the pull request, I’m hesitant to work around this for three
reasons:
- It’s a bug in GCC
- The work-around code requires using macros and loses type safety
- A runtime compiled with GCC lacks a number of important features
I think simply removing support for building with GCC is probably a better idea.
