Thanks,

The issue with gcc seems to be a little more specific than we normally set
the macro for, but I don't see any reason why we shouldn't set it.  Am I
right in thinking that this is specific to gcc 3.1 and 3.2?  Also do you
have a test case that can be added to the appropriate config test?

Thanks,

John.
