Not compilable with all warnings enabled "... throws different exceptions" (Bug in GNU Binutils)

[Marc Waeckerlin]

There are incompatibilities in several headers of package 
binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-31 (packed as RPM by SuSE):

e.g.:

(in file included by demangle.h:24)

libiberty.h:78 and string.h:366
  basename throws different exceptions

libiberty.h:285 and stdio.h:374
  asprintf throws different exceptions

libiberty.h:293 and stdio.h:368
  vasprintf throws different exceptions

[...]


How can it be that a central part of GNU software, such as the binutils, is in 
so bad quality? Don't you try to compile everything with all warnings 
enabled?

Please enable all warnings and try to compile all headers not only with gcc, 
but also with g++ in a batch test before each release!

Thank you
Regards
Marc
