Please don't panic ;-)

It doesn't probably run on m68k, m88k, sparc and vax (those are
still using gcc-2.95). All other archs are using gcc-3.3.5 per
default, which compiles ratpoison fine, and I doubt someone really
wants ratpoison (or any window manager) on m68k or m88k.

But I can try to install an old gcc-2.95 into some non-default
location and see what would need fixing. Or I even reanimate my
little old sparc classic...
