I just found that this is not a gcc bug but a feature (since 4.4), so this 
should also happen with your compiler:

this should not happen, because this is the clang option which fails with gcc. 
Is this with meson or autotools? Are you sure you applied the patch? I tested 
it with both, gcc and clang and it works file here.
