You could say exactly the same about OpenSSL - it's not a good argument.

No. A bug in OpenSSL makes the thing meaningless while in GCC it affects some corner case. I want better vectorization.

If that corner case manifests as a bug in OpenSSL, it is by definition at least as bad as a bug in OpenSSL.

You're assuming and implying that this code is more bug-prone in its current state than it would be if it were rewritten.

I'm not convinced that's true.
