I believe to be able to prove GCC is producing bogus warnings:

Cf. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1037293
(This is a trimmed down example of a real world case).

AFAIU Jacub, the only issue with this code is GCC hitting is 
implementation limitations, which is causing it to produce a bogus 
warning/error.
