Yes, you’re right, but at a certain point, if I remember correctly, we’ve decided to uniform this kind work-arounds using -O0,
 indeed some other gcc bug could be solved differently but we kept -O0 way to have a “standard” solution.

What do you think about it?

Otherwise I do as you’ve described above, no problem.
