I'm not aware of any y2k issues in the compiler. In general the
compiler doesn't care a whole lot about dates/times. Of course
if there are underlying issues with the host system, then those
may effect tools like the compiler.
y2037 is a separate issue. I don't know if anyone's bothered
to think about 2037 issues for gcc yet.
