Just in case this is meant seriously, could we have #warn instead of #error? So that I won't have to /&%$$%## fix things every time I patch up my tree.
Yes, lusers are going to ignore or overlook the warning, but lusers are also going to complain why the compiler they have won't work anymore, when it has (I've used egcs since long, never had a problem. Others may have, but from what I gather, they are rare) up to this point.
