I think it goes too far to attempt to work around bugs of every possible
gcc version on every possible platform.

  - The number of users of that particular version can be expected to be
    small. In contrast, the number of users of the vendor-provided compiler
    is higher.

  - The user can fix the problem by himself, in this case by adding one
    line to a gcc-private include file, or more generally by installing
    a newer version of gcc from source. This is not the case with
    vendor-provided compilers, often.
