yikes.

Not only does this need to be tested for all configs, it also need to
be tested for all approved gcc versions.

For example, one of my compilers always spews warnings from x86 because
it has the "foo(&bar) doesn't initialise bar" stupidity.

And there will be other gcc inconsitencies, for sure.
