Again, I think this could be easily addressed in Apple's GCC only,
but that will mean that the software in question will compile on Macs,
but not on GNU/Linux. Of course, having apps on OS X that can't
be ported to Linux is not necessarily a bad thing from Apple's
point of view... :-)

Don't you think it is reasonable to fix horrible coding
errors like this, you are just asking for maintenance
problems. In the short term, kludging may make sense,
in the long term it sounds a bad idea to keep such
non-portable code around.
