your arguments don't seem to be consistent with this test ;) :

$ gcc --version
2.95.3
$ cat gcc-no2.c
int main(void)
{
char c="msux"[0x7fffffff];
printf("%c",c);
}
$ gcc gcc-no2.c
$ ./a.out
Memory fault (core dumped)
$ gdb ./a.out ./a.out.core
#0  0x1c000550 in main ()
(gdb) x/i $eip
0x1c000550 <main+16>:   mov    (%edx,%eax,1),%al
(gdb) p/x $eax
$1 = 0x3c000001
(gdb) p/x $edx
$2 = 0x7fffffff


compile passes, but the proggie crashes, so "msux"[INDEX] doesn't seem to be expanded to char at compile time.

iirc the gcc crash is in xstrdup or something like this.
