You are outside the standard, because of your use of GCC extensions, 
so the standard can give you no protection. If a GCC extension doesn't
work the way you think it should (and I agree it looks pretty dumb)
then your only recourse is to GNU, not to the standard.

A standard C compiler isn't required to translate this code at all,
let alone produce any specific results.
