Happened to GCC at some point in time and caused miscompiles on s390.
Not nice. Thus I really like that new default even if it causes

I admit, that if it happens and slips through unnoticed, it's getting a
major hassle to resolve (but using a heavily patched compiler suite isn't
the real McCoy either, is it?) ;-).
