Flip flopping between whether something should be an error or not has been a 
"feature" of gcc ever since I can remember. I used to test compile C programs
on a v4 release of gcc because it would error on just about everything if
you set -Wall -pedantic and would spot problems that newer versions missed
though thats not the case any more thankfully.
