Perhaps, but it's still technically broken code, and the "correct" fix
would only affect a few programs? But the thing is egcs is supposed to be
an ANSI C++ compiler, so -ansi shouldn't be required (and it isn't).
You've obviously not used a recent version of egcs have you. Watching
const -> non const being treated as a fatal error as long as there's no
cast... boy that was fun!
