gcc 3.1/3.2 has nothing to do with KDE's BC.

Even if every single KDE user used gcc, the whole *point* of keeping BC is 
that users *don't* want to have to recompile everything all the time.  So 
we *know* that they're not all going to use the latest version of their 
compiler.

And if KDE is managed correctly, they don't *have* to recompile.

Keep it BC.  Break it every single hour until the final freeze if needed, 
but keep it rock-solid BC evermore after.

Don't think of a bug as a problem.  Think of it as a call to action.
