I had to drop this patch from the trivial patches tree, it tickles a

I cannot reproduce it on my build host here with gcc Debian 4.6.2-12
but Anthony reports the following Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4:
CC ui/vnc-auth-sasl.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
/home/anthony/git/qemu/ui/vnc-auth-sasl.c: In function

Looks like a GCC bug where
x = y = 0;
is converted to
x = (y = 0) != 0;
Curious, why convert like this? What does this optimization do?

and the magic that does this inside the compiler causes the warning.
We should add a configure check to only add -Werror on compilers newer
than X (for example X could leave out GCC 4.5), so that this patch can
be reapplied.
