[Bug c++/13614] zero size base class not zero size in complex inheritance

Disagree.  FOUR commercial compilers (Sun v7, IBM VAC v5, Intel 6 and Microsoft 
VC++6) do it "correctly."  G++ will be a less viable compiler if it fails to 
correct this deficiency.

The ISO spec states:

10.0(5) second sentence

While G++ is conforming to the "however" part of this,
the practical implication is very troublesome for embedded systems developers
who require absolute control over the size of their classes.

I'm getting increasingly fed-up with G++ and will be switching to ICC anyway, 
but I'm sure someone else will care.
