I think there should maybe be a check for the minimum gcc version supported then to ensure
that no too old version is used. If you do not want to add teh flag for 
specific versions
The effect of the bug was IIRC not trivial to connect to the gcc version so
it could leave a developer quite lost and confused what is causing it
