You, Tim, wrote the words, "gcc disagrees with you."
If you didn't want to bring GCC into it, because it is not
authoritative (which is true), then why did you mention it in
the first place?

You opened that door and walked through it.

Then you should have done that from the start, and not mentioned
GCC.

I am mystified as to why you are bringing my name into this, and
why you think "I may not like the consequences", or even what
that means. In any event, you are evidently laboring under some
assumption about what I think about this matter that is probably
incorrect.
Because I am not you, I cannot know this for a fact, let alone
why it may be. Regardless, I suggest you don't do that, or at a
minimum seek clarity from the referent of your assumptions,
before making claims about they may think.

It appears that you are appealing to a certain kind of semantic
precision, that is itself based on a number of assumptions that
are unstated, but that are implicit in your writing. Further,
you give every indication of believing that a reader should
simply intuitively know.
In fact, both GCC and clang (the versions I tried on the
platforms I tried on) emit a diagnostic for the code under
consideration. Your assertion appears to be that that is
unrelated to the constraint in section 6.6 para 4, which seems
accurate.
But you did not say that: instead, you just made a vague
statement that "gcc disagrees with you." That's not useful, and
no one can reasonably know what you meant unless you elaborated
on it.
When it was pointed out to you that in fact GCC generates a
diagnostic, you had an opportunity to clarify that it was not in
response to the aforementioned constraint violation. You chose
not to do so, and instead of arrogantly accuse others of
laziness and a lack of willingness to understand.
Insisting that your readers adhere to some arbitrary level of
semantic precision you seem to fancy yourself expressing is not
actually a sign of true expertise. Real expertise is most
readily demonstrated through effective communication.

It is rather cavalier to make imperative statements to others

Is it a silly argument?
Perhaps Keith has some reason for suggesting that such an
interpretation is be valid. I'm not aware of what that might
be, but I suspect you are not, either. But without even knowing
what the argument is, how would you know?
You are the one admonishing others to look at the letter of the
standard ("My conclusions are based on what the C standard
actually says..."), yet here you dismiss as "a silly argument",
a thing brought up by someone who has demonstrated that they
generally know what they're talking about, and you have done so
without even bothering to ask what they might be refering to.
In fact, I think this fits a pattern of behavior I observe from
you fairly consistently. You decide on an interpretation,
declare it correct, and appear to scoff at anyone else who does
not immediately share that interpretation as being "lazy" or
worse.
Ironically, you yourself do not do well when you are shown to be
wrong about something; cf your bizarre statement about Rust not
being strongly typed. This does not do well for your
credibility; everyone makes mistakes now and again, and you are
no different, but your seeming inability to admit to it when it
is obvious decreases faith in your interpretations when they are
not obvious.
You would do well to express more humility, and consider how
others might perceive you based on the way you talk to them.
