[NTLUG:Discuss] (Sigh) more on gcc 3.0

[Chris Cox]

>From the KDE 2.2 announcement today:

Note: gcc 3.0 is not recommended for compilation of KDE 2.2. There
are several known miscompilations of production C++ code with this
compiler, like i.e. virtual inheritance which is used for example in arts.
We know that you will experience a lot of runtime difficulties when you
compile with gcc 3.0, so using this particular compiler version is at your
own risk, and please do not report bugs to us if you use this compiler.
The problems are mostly known and we're working with the gcc team
to get them fixed.

I think it's kind of funny that the whole reason that RedHat
jumped the gun with 2.96 was because the C++ compiler was better....
maybe this problem is only in 3.0 and not 2.96??  Interesting
none the less.
