Well, you didn't do it right:

Look at the #define of BUILD_BUG_ON2 a bit more.

Hint: you're using the _wrong_ BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO. The old one, not the v2
one!

That said, with that fixed, there's still something wrong. It does seem
like gcc has some very odd interaction there with __builtin_constant_p.
Odd.
