1. All developers working on Nine using GCC 4.7 and later, users also don't
complain (irc logs, google search for error message). This bug is based on
theoretical test with old gcc, but in real-life no one triggered it yet (that's
why I did proposed patch, to patch this corner case).

Also there is possibility it's not only one problem which will be triggered by
older gcc version (maybe not at this moment, but later and will have to
workaround it again).

Is chance that real user will compile Nine with something older than GCC 4.6 ?
Even Ubuntu 12.04 has 4.6.3 (3 years old + there is no problem updating to 4.7
and later).
