No, the DECstation compiler is just stupid, not dead.  It generates
correct code, but complains about perfectly reasonable C source.  My guess
is that they tried to add a warning for >> operations but botched it and
complained about << operations too.

I don't plan to "fix" GDB to avoid these bogus warnings.  They should
fix their compiler instead.

I recommend filing a bug with your DEC support organization (if you
have DEC software support) that complains about these error messages
when compiling code that shifts char values left (<<).
