Good question!

If the bug represents a regression from GCC 2.95, mark it "high"
priority.  Deprecated stuff is, sadly, still supported in GCC 3.0.

Other, simply close the bug.  Add a note saying "this feature is
deprecated in GCC 3.0".  Realistically, we're never going to fix this
stuff, so we might as well just blow it away.
