Comment(by lsansonetti@…):

 That's what I meant by hacking the compiler. The static variable would
 need to be emitted at compilation time. Of course the compiler would need
 to know when the variable should be emitted (which requires an heuristic).
 I'm not sure if dispatch_once() is worth all of that.

 As for emulation, sure, we could potentially provide this in the future
 pure-ruby gcd.rb we discussed earlier today.
