Thanks for the info. I did find that there's an alternative patch to
fix _Static_assert() with genksyms that was sent 3 days after mine
(it's simpler, but might miss cases). I've responded there (
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/X9JI5KpWoo23wkRg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ).

Now we have some choice. I'd argue for this patch, because it's not
doing preprocessor workarounds, but in the end I won't make that call.
:-)

Thanks,
