I think the right approach is not documenting observations like that, but 
investigating the causes of failures with older compilers and making it 
build with as wide a range of versions of GCC (and ideally at least one 
non-GCC C++ compiler, probably an EDG-based one such as the Intel 
compiler) as is reasonable.
