Jan, please do this, even if it makes the code more ugly, it makes sense 
for the 2.6.3 release to continue working with the tools it already 
supported. No question for -forge, but we try hard to keep ABI 
compatibility so that users can upgrade xenomai without even recompiling 
their application, it does not make sense to suddenly stop working with 
a toolchain which always worked before.
