Ah. That won't work on OS X even after setting the execute bit (wrong type), and 
with my current build on Linux (not using clang) I get a sigsegv.

Yeah, I decided to drop it too. It might reduce the load on the launchpad 
servers I use for building, but that's not a good enough reason to waste hours 
trying to ensure those build will succeed by building everything locally.
I'm guessing there won't be a (significant) performance difference in the end 
result (compared to gcc 5.1 or even 4.9).
