Would you please test with these.

Basically, the question is whether the problem is limited to a
many-years-old GCC version or not.  If GCC 5 and 6 don't have the
same problem, maybe 4.8 is so old it doesn't matter.
What year was GCC 5 released?

We're particularly interested in compilation with GCC because
GCC is our compiler.
