Not so drastic, really. The changes are very much localised, and the new
code is *far* less risky than the current version. Older versions of gcc
should have no problem with it.I agree it needs testing on more platforms,
of course.

If you could, that would be great. Thanks.

patches conditional on gcc version >=4.5.
In my opinion writing such a check would cause more potential for trouble
than the changes.
