If a linker errors start to appear after some straightforward code 
rewrite like replacing an if() with the ternary operator, and only with 
some compilers and only with some optimization options, surely they will 
look random and obscure if you have not encountered such issues before.

Yes, they are not obscure once you already understand the issue.

IIRC at one point one had to use different solutions for different 
mainstream compilers, as there was no code variant accepted by both. But 
that was long ago.
