OK, I have found the machine with the newer gcc.

	#define test_1(tout) (!tout ?: 1)

	int func_1(long timeout)
	{
		return test_1(timeout);
	}

	#define test_2(tout) (tout ?: 1)

	int func_2(long timeout)
	{
		return test_2(timeout);
	}

test_1() triggers the same warning, test_2() doesn't. So it doesn't
like "computed-boolean ?: long".

Thanks. This should fix the isssue.

I'll try to send the cleanup patch later, this doesn't look very nice...
