It's sort of an edge case, but it's something like gcc's
-fmerge-all-constants, which isn't completely standard-compliant.  In
essence, if there are multiple instances of the given function on the
stack, the addresses of each version of the constant are supposed to
be distinct, and this is broken by making the variable a global.
