Well, if you provide such macro, I'll be happy to use it ;-). It
should be something like 

compile_time_assert(expr, "message")

because with more of these are in the code, it would be nightmare to
find out which one is wrong.

Perhaps better name, too?

pavel@elonex:/tmp$ cat delme.c

#define COMPILE_ERR_ON(expr, message) \
        do { if (!(expr)) compile_time_assert_failed_##message(); } while (0)

void main(void)
{
        COMPILE_ERR_ON(0==8, cpu_broke_zeros_neck);
        COMPILE_ERR_ON(0==0, compiler_went_crazy);
}
pavel@elonex:/tmp$ gcc delme.c -o delme
delme.c: In function `main':
delme.c:6: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'
/tmp/ccAx2alr.o(.text+0x11): In function `main':
