It all boils down if we want to work around something that looks like a
compiler bug in tests or not. I would be inclined not to do so since LTP
was littered with quite a lot of workarounds for glibc/compiler bugs and
we spend quite some time cleaning that mess up. But in this case I can
agree that this is a borderland issue so I'm not strongly against that
either.
