Yeah, saw a few issues that looked relevant:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55578
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90400

I recall the extra quotes were needed to make this work, does it work for you
without them?

I mean, as long as this workaround is reliable I'd say using it is the
best option
for backwards compatibility, especially since it's only needed in one place from
the looks of it.
