Our version uses _Static_assert where possible, which I think
will give better error messages than the glib version. There are
also some corner cases where the glib macros don't work:

Broadly, our implementation works and so I don't see much need
to mess with it, outside of the special case of slirp that's
trying to cut its ties with QEMU.
