Well, since I brought something like this up a few days ago - I guess I'll
summarize what I've found out. It is my opinion that although the MIT X
Consortium recommends the use of gcc to build the whole shebang, I don't
think they mean gcc-2.2.2!!
You seem to regard GCC as if it were a natural phenomenon, whose good
and bad points are a timeless fact, beyond anyone's power to change.
That is not true. Version 2.2.2 is a beta test release of a program
that was designed by people and is actively maintained by many of the
same people. We expect a beta release to have problems, and we want
to fix them.
Each time you find a problem in GCC, please send a specific bug report
that explains how to reproduce the problem. That will enable us to
fix it.
