Hi,

I just submitted an update of the XMMS port.  However, some user had
problems compiling it on a i386 3.3-STABLE kernel upgraded to
3.4-STABLE.  His /usr/bin/cc was version 2.7.2.3, and if he compiled
with gcc295 everything worked fine.  (The problem was that gcc just
got stuck forever trying to compile one of the files.)

My question is: what is the best thing to do here?  Shall I make build
dependencies on a new gcc version IF the default compiler is an old
one, or should I try to figure out why the heck the compiler hangs on
this specific file?
