Currently, only the ppc64 Port uses gcc-4.0 as its default compiler. However, as far as I understand, after the release of sarge, the Debian archive will switch to gcc-4.0 as the default compiler for all architectures. In this case, this bug will become RC. > What do You think about that ? I think that 'wontfix' wonthelp much :) More seriously, the newer gcc-4.0 adheres more strictly to the official C/C++ standards. I think that C/C++ code should generally be based on the standards and not on non-standard externsions of old gcc versions.
