I didn't have it enabled, but I tried that just nw with GCC 12.1.0 and it builds cleanly, and test_bitmap_const_eval() gets optimized away entirely. If i remove the `static` from that, GCC generates: | : | paciasp | autiasp | ret ... which is a trivial stub. > Probably the same reason as for m68k, more constant > optimization -> more aggressive inlining or inlining rebalance -> > larger code.

Hmm.... it'd be interesting to take a look at a few architectures and see what the common case is. Thanks, Mark.
