The problem would ideally need to be fixed and IIRC the approach to do it
(yours) was agreed on. But as gcc3 is in widespread use now, I think it's a
low priority problem. So, in the meantime, we could simply implement error
messages when we know that the generated code will be corrupted. As you seem
to have a good knowledge of the dat2c utility, would you mind doing that ?
