FWIW, the comment here

    http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11366#c8

originally dealing with the XDM-AUTHORIZATION cookie issue, applies equally
well to these sorts of situation.  If someone works it down to a flag,
or a combination of flags, and a preprocessed source file, then GCC's
upstream can hack on it.
