Which fixes the problem. Some tests showed me that the compiler does not unroll
an otherwise unrolled loop when this specific macro is called. (test done with
-funroll-all-loops).

Eh? I thought you wanted to avoid changing the generated code? Inhibiting loop unrolling could be a pretty large change...
