My guess is that the compiler writers saw you calling a libc function,
and assumed that library could not modify the file static variable,
forgetting that the libc function can call back into the original file.

Can you detect the Itanium compiler and optimization levels via
preprocessor symbols, and test for that, and throw an #error?
