I wish that were all!  At least that's a solvable problem. ;>

Technically, other compilers are probably sophisticated enough,
but require some massaging of the code before they'll eat it.

That would be fantastic!  Just run the tests in the sandbox, and
email me the error messages.  If I could get all the tests to pass
on 3 compilers, I'd consider that good enough to pass my
portability requirement.

It's an embarrassingly insignificant upgrade to 5.5.1.  I'd really like
to try out the preview compiler, but I haven't had the time to obtain
it.

P.S.  If you can, make sure that when you build the tests, all
optimizations are turned on and EBO is enabled (if it's a switch
for the compiler).  One of the tests is a sizeof (in fact, it's the first
test ;).  Also, when you run the tests (*if* you get that far!), please
run them with --log_level=all, and include the output when you
send me a problem.
