The GNU mailing lists including help-gcc (a.k.a. gnu.gcc.help) should only be used to help promote free software. Developers who won't make the software free are not cooperating with us. They don't deserve our help. So please don't advertise non-free programs on the FSF mailing lists. Actually, it's worse than that. If you install gcc then all include files in /usr/include are useless because they are for Sun's cc. I have never heard of such a problem, and I cannot imagine how it might exist. As far as I know, the standard include files on a Sun work with GCC; that is the only way anyone can compile anything with GCC on a Sun. I used to use GCC on a Sun and I know it worked. Why do I make a fuss about this? Because if you think you have seen a bug, you should send a usable bug report with details from which the bug can be reproduced. Warning other users of nebulous but serious problems without telling maintainers enough to fix them is just about the nastiest thing a user can do to a software developer. I don't think nastiness is your intent--so could you please do something more helpful?
