Actually I'd not put that to anywhere anyway.  Because to me,
*especially* in a case like this when the code is imported from
some other place and will be updated later (so we should not
modify it), this issue can be more easily dealt with externally,
by adding a compiler option in a Makefile.  Provided, ofcourse,
that it is not fixed upstream properly to start with - and if
it is (and this is the very sane way to go really, to fix it
upstream), that fix can be pulled to qemu as well, so no
clashes with further upstream changes will happen.

And aso because really, this prob should be fixed properly, not
worked around like this..

That's what I'm after too (after trying to fix it properly).
And no, at this time I dont know how gcc5 handles this.

Thanks,
