Patch from Nicolas Pitre

It used to make a difference in the gcc-2.95 era.  However these days
modern gcc apparently got better at not being influenced by such constructs
(which is good in general) and therefore such workaround is of no real
advantage anymore.
The good news is that gcc (from version 4.1.0) is now fixed with
regards to the defficiency this workaround was trying to address.
For those interested the patch can easily be backported to older gcc
versions and can be found here:

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
