For the linux-user syscall split, we have static const structs that must be matched up with a switch statement that uses them. By default, gcc will not warn for such a variable, but silently remove them.
For C++, such objects are sometimes declared for their constructor side effects. Do not propagate this flag into QEM_CXXFLAGS.
