I would suggest just accepting link-time constants in constant
expressions. But yeah, maybe limit even that just to unevaluated
subexpressions.

That said, for sparse, the right thing to do would be to use
__builtin_warning() or something, but gcc doesn't have that kind of thing,
so..

Yeah, we do seem to have lost a maintainer.
