I'm afraid it will require someone to look into, and understand, the internal AST representation of gcc (with -fdump-tree-*), and then perturb it through the QEMU source sufficiently. Also, how about filing that backport bug for Debian? If they backport the gcc fix, then the issue is solved -- people can be expected to update their Debian systems fully, before they do any heavy-lifting with them (like building QEMU). Thanks Laszlo
