Very aggressive and very known.

If we know how GCC is going to behave in a given situation (and have a fairly 
good idea of how it's going to behave in the future), we don't have to worry 
about theoretical stardards loopholes like it calling BUG(), do we?

Is there something in the current behavior that's causing trouble (in which 
case, what exactly is it), or are the gcc guys (who you mentioned earlier*) 
warning that the behavior of upcoming versions of gcc is likely to break 
known constructs in the current kernel?
