re: sid



   Is `sid' expected to be compiled by GCC 2.95.3 (it won't on my FreeBSD
   4.3 system)?  If not, can configure check for G++'s version and not try
   to build it if it does require G++ 3.0.


actually, gcc 3.0 won't build sid due to poor/missing throw() specifiers
in the SID sources that gcc 3.0 is more picky about.  also, on solaris,
due to missing c99 `long long' support, `long long' is disabled, so that
there are no 64 bit integers available on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 with gcc
3.0.  i have only tried gcc 2.95.3 once and it also seemed to cause some
problem but i have not investigated this beyond "./configure && make".


however, gcc 2.95.2 was the main-stay compiler for sid for a long time
so there's no real reason 2.95.3 should fail.
