This idea, while valid, may cause problems on some systems.

For example, on FreeBSD, the compiler is part of the base system, and is 
not (easily) replacable. And in FreeBSD 4.7, released a couple of weeks 
ago, we get 2.95.4 (yes, I know that version does not exist!) as 
standard.

[tap@zappa tap]$ gcc -v
Using builtin specs.
gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]

Having said that, I've yet to see an "Internal compiler error" from this 
system, most likely because it is a later CVS snapshot than the one 
used by Debian.

The problems I have had with Krita *are* 2.95.x related, it is true, but 
Patrick has been looking at them and trying to make the code less 
standard compliant so that it will work on the earlier compilers.
