Nick, the patch set is getting simpler and simpler,
and almost good enough to be merged.
Please let me ask two questions below.
There has been a lot of discussion, and
I might have missed the context.

Q1.
This "CC_IS_GCC ||" was introduced by v4.
GCC never outputs '.file 0', which is why
this test is only needed for Clang, correct?

I saw the following links in v6.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25612
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25614
They were dropped in v7. Why?
I just thought they were good to know...
