Is gnome 2.6 supposed to be gcc 2.95 compatible?

[Andre Schaefer <a schaefer uni-duisburg de>]

Hello,

is it still the case that all packages in garnome should compile with 
gcc 2.95? I build on debian woody and that uses still the 2.95 gcc.

I get always a lot of errors related to variables not declared at the 
beginning of a block. This 2.95 specific issue is easy to fix, but makes 
a lot of work. Are these errors supposed to be accepted as bug reports?

What about the C++ bindings and packages like dasher? I assume they are 
not compatible at all.

This problem will be less serious when debian sarge will be released as 
stable some time this year, but meanwhile?

cheers,
