[Gnash-dev] Re: 0.8.3 not building on Fedora 6 (Russ Nelson)

[zou lunkai]

We would still like Gnash to work on Fedora6 if possible.  The failure
was due to compiler bugs(GCC 4.3).  But GCC4.3 is not too old at all.
And I am sure some older compilers are still in use in many platforms.
The building bug on Fedora6 should be eliminated by more carefull
coding in a long-term plan.
