Nice.
I'd hoped to eventually implement this automatically using some
information from gcc; see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49090
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15251
However I haven't gotten around to it; and anyway your approach is nice
and not only doesn't conflict with the above, but may continue to be
useful even if the above is implemented.

It looked fine to me.
