No, it doesn't work fine, it just appears to work fine. If you push
it enough, including headers that expose compatibilities, you'll find
trouble. You've just been lucky to not run into any problem.
It's true that GCC 3.0 exposes the system incompatibilities more
often. That's because the C++ headers are more dependent on
properties of the system now.
