I tried using the 0924 version of the patch on an internal workload SPEC
"cpu2017" and found that a few files failed to compile because of an error
message on static initializer, like this: struct s { float f; }; static struct
s x = {0.63}; Compiled with ffp-model=strict "initializer..is not a
compile-time constant"
