We generally don't workaround standard compliance bugs in compilers,
especially .0 releases with a history of being buggy. That said, have
you verified why it doesn't happen with libstdc++ itself? I would
somewhat suspect that the threatment of the header as system header
hides the problem for libstdc++, I can't imagine that it can correctly
implement the constexpr constructor without performance penalties
otherwise...
