Ah I see one of the higher priests from the echelon has spoken. We  
the uninitiated
should bow in respect?

Again: What's the problem again just to define which version of GCC  
is suited to use
with which version of GLIBC and fixing your ifdef/__attribute__ hell  
in header files,
instead of pretending "compatibility and portability over the whole  
range" and
constantly winning about the improvement of C standard conformance  
support in GCC?

As a matter of fact dependance on particular tool versions is already
indirectly the STATUS QUO in glibc, due to dependencies between  
compiler version
and kernel version. (Yes I know glibc pretends to be kernel version  
independent
too... but that doesn't match reality too.)
