The GCC 3.2 documentation for -fpermissive says that it is:

 | `-fpermissive'
 |      Downgrade messages about nonconformant code from errors to
 |      warnings.  By default, G++ effectively sets `-pedantic-errors'
 |      without `-pedantic'; this option reverses that.  This behavior and
 |      this option are superseded by `-pedantic', which works as it does
 |      for GNU C.

So if it's not, then the behaviour doesn't match the documentation,
and IMHO the best way to fix it would be to change the behaviour
so that -pedantic-errors really is the default.
