many C compilers, so the answer to random's question is just "asm
[('BUILD_SET', 0)]" or something similar. Either of those would make this
problem trivial.

Eugene Toder & Dave Malcolm have some interesting patches on the tracker to
help enhance the compiler (in particular, Dave's allowed compiler plugins
to be written in Python). Neither set of patches made it to being merge
ready, though, and they'll be rather stale at this point.

Cheers,
Nick.
