configure script detects the C++ compiler and sets various compiler
flags.  It basically tries to work around *known* issues as much as
possible.  However, it does not cover every possible combination.
"Moving away" means "not actively tested".

Okay,

sorry.

I really love to build LO with GCC 4.2, too.  I really do.  However, I
don't see much point of mentioning that fact in PR.
