This bug also affects the i686-pc-linux-gnu target and probably most other
targets In make check gcc 4.5.0 says:

test-tgmath2.c: In function ‘test’:
test-tgmath2.c:167:3: error: assignment of read-only variable ‘texpr’
test-tgmath2.c:168:3: error: assignment of read-only variable ‘texpr’
test-tgmath2.c:169:3: error: assignment of read-only variable ‘texpr’
test-tgmath2.c:178:3: error: assignment of read-only variable ‘texpr’
test-tgmath2.c:179:3: error: assignment of read-only variable ‘texpr’

My diagnosis that __typeof__ (expr) texpr declares texpr to be const in those
tests, so the assignment further down in the TEST2 macro produces an error message.

The following patch uses mixed declarations and code to eliminate the
assignment, which fixes the problem. It might be nice if the compiler supported
declaring a variable as const and allowing a single assignment to it sometime later.
