Perhaps this has been discussed and discarded before (if so I would appreciate 
if you could point me to the relevant discussion), why not simply redefine 
__DATE__ and __TIME__ to an appropriate string via the command-line or a dummy 
include?

That probably triggers some warnings (or it may not be supported at all, I 
haven't tried myself), but fixing those issues leads to a more general solution 
than GCC reacting to an arbitrary variable name and changing its behaviour 
quite silently.

Cheers,

Manuel.
