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.
