It was added as a reminder that newer versions of gcc had provision to do
it in a simpler way.

But as we have to support the older versions as well, and that the newer
versions also did support the old way having a single code path is much
easier to maintain.

I am in favor of dropping that patch, and rename the FIXME into an INFO,
so we do not forget about it.
