This breaks compilation (and therefore bisecting) until the function 
becomes non-static in patch #36.

Please merge patches #33 and #36 into one patch.

That's not terribly important now that you've sent the patches for 
review, but keep in mind that the tree should compile at all stages for 
making bisecting possible when preparing the final submission.
