I hate to continue beating a dead horse, but RTH just committed the GCC

Great!
Should this knowledge be builtin to the jump label enabling calculus?
No, because we can't trust versions. We never know what home grown gcc a
kernel developer is using (and what has been backported or not). Thus
the only option is to have a builtin test we can do at compile time to
determine if the bug exists or not and decide then.
Note, I'm currently running my last set of patches through ktest. When
it finishes (presumably with no issues), I'll post a pull request.
