It's unclear that such workarounds will really address the fundamental problem; they _might_ provide a stop gap for a given version of gcc.

Hi, I am happy to know that this issue is under discussion somewhere for a better solution. Since this only triggers for latest GCC-12 and is not a blocking us for now, I can hold on for a while.
