Of course, nobody is asking for "compilers for every variant of broken code",
but please, code which has been compiling without any problems in our data
center environment for nearly a decade on all linux variants and several other
unix platforms, is now deemed broken because it won't build with gcc 4?

In short, if there were simply an optional gcc-compat package (e.g. 3.3 or
2.95) it would make everybody happy -
