I see some old friends in this debate, which has been going on for more than 13 years and mentions "coming up with a design" being the "first step" in a message written a year ago. Surely, this would be the best option, but using Exim 4.96.2 until GCC defined and made such an improvement (if ever) doesn't sound like a good idea, obviously.
