I have to admit that I don't understand either why this error is raised here; after all, from our understanding of the code these _are_ constant addresses.
You may want to ask this in a compiler group...
Yes. I will.
I asked in the GCC mailing list and got this reply. That also seems to explain why the array as a local variable worked.
