From what I've heard and read, gcc 4.0.0's increased pickyness also raises the
bar for getting existing objective-c code to compile - by introducing follies
such as refusing to compile objective-c sources with a .c extension.
OTOH, people are pretty excited about gcc 4's new C++ features such as the
visibility support - it seems the gap between C,C++ and the more marginal
languages supported by the gcc is increasing.
