Hmm IIRC other boards are affected (raspi and orange-pi).
Maybe it is time to define some static inlined boolean function
in "qemu/compiler.h", maybe qemu_build_optimized()? Or not inlined
function but simply expand to true/false:
/**
* qemu_build_not_reached()
*
* The compiler, during optimization, is expected to prove that a call
* to this function cannot be reached and remove it. If the compiler
* supports QEMU_ERROR, this will be reported at compile time; o therwise
* this will be reported at link time due to the missing symbol.
*/
#if defined(__OPTIMIZE__) && !defined(__NO_INLINE__)
extern void QEMU_NORETURN QEMU_ERROR("code path is reachable")
qemu_build_not_reached(void);
