You'd be suprised at some of the stuff gcc (especially g++) passes as
correct code. One person on the egcs mailing list said he was shocked at
how much g++ passed, before egcs pointed the "Finger of Righteous
Indignation" at the code.
Ran into a lot of C++ things when compiling MUD++ under egcs. The KDE
project also has a lot of those previous g++ buglets.
CircleMUD 3.0 bpl12 had no new warnings under Egcs/Libc6 though. Sounds
odd because I heard earlier there was a conflicting global variable when
using GNU Libc. Perhaps it's in a newer version than 2.0.5c?
