(Relevant but almost a thread hijack):

At Isilon we've run into a lot of problems with variable declarations
in macros, especially with -Wshadow turned on.  We ended up
backporting __COUNTER__ from later versions of gcc and then using it
to make unique variable names.

 - is the backport (or a fresh implementation) something that could be
done within the scope of the GPL license?
 - is it something FreeBSD would be interested in?
 - is __COUNTER__ supported by clang?
 - if not, could it be?

-Wshadow found several nasty bugs in our code, and apart from a few
spurious warnings it has been handy to have when building our
filesystem.

Thanks,
matthew
