> From gcc-4.0 I think but I don't know when/if it was fixed in the
latest. I use CodeSourcery's toolchain and they fixed in in gcc-4.1
but that's with their own patches. Try to compile the code below. It
should work if the toolchain is OK:

       #include <stdlib.h>

       #define EXPR    atoi(argv[1])

       int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
           static int a[] = {
               __builtin_constant_p(EXPR) ? EXPR : 0
           };

           return a[0];
       }
