Ok, this was making the build fail as well on some containers here:

  return *((unsigned long long *) &te->timestamp[te->t]);
  ^

  ^~~~~~

I stopped at this point when this report/patch resurfaced in my mind, so
I came back and folded this fix into the cset introducing the problem
since it hasn't gone Ingo's way, so that we can keep this bisectable
when upstream.

Thanks guys!
