Well, my *test* code works on that one and -Wvla -Werror.
It does not work with gcc-4.1.x, but works with gcc-4.4.x.
I can't seem to see the errors any way, I wonder if
__builtin_choose_expr() simply didn't exist back then.
Odd that you can't view warnings/errors with it.
But it's possible that it fails on more complex stuff in the kernel.
I've done a "allmodconfig" build with that patch, and the only issue
it found was that (real) type issue in tpm_tis_core.h.
