According to upstream, this was a bug in GCC 4.9 worked around by this
commit which is present in 0.9.11:
https://sourceforge.net/p/desmume/code/5120/

I can reproduce this bug on jessie i386, but not jessie amd64. Since
desmume doesn't work at all on jessie i386, the bug is grave.

Seems like a good idea to me. I haven't tested the above patch though.
