Brilliant.
It seems that there needs to be a way of detecting the presence of the feature at compile-time, so you can do
#ifndef HAVE_CT_ASSERT #define __builtin_ct_assert(a, b) do{}while(0) #endif
or whatever.
Apart from that, I'd suggest you fill out the FSF damage waiver and see if you can make this part of stock gcc.
