    About every GCC release breaks most of the software written for previous version, especially for C++, as it's standard keeps "refining" constantly, as does GCC's interpretation of it. Not to mention the extensions.

    Right now I'm busy changing all "#include" to "#include", "friend Foo" to "friend class Foo", and adding "using namespace std" everywhere. What next?

    That's right. GCC is BUG FREE and if your software doesn't compile, it's because of your crappy code!

    For normal code, yes. For kernel code, maybe. For instance, if you're mucking with the registers, or stack or other non-normal stuff then you may need to ensure that a particular segment of code does not actually make a function call as that would be disastrous.
