Older Compaq cxx (Digital C++) compilers have that warning - this one
in particular has annoyed me in the past:

[michael_at_anaconda michael]$  cxx -V
DIGITAL C++ V6.0-010 on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 1530)

This one, on the ther hand, is fine:

[michael_at_viper michael]$  cxx -V
Compaq C++ V6.5-014 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650)
Compiler Driver V6.5-014 (cxx) cxx Driver

The DECXX version for the later compiler is 60590014, we identify it
as follows:

#if defined(__DECCXX)
#if (__DECCXX_VER<60590014)
// do workaround
#endif
#endif

I don't know in which version between the two this was fixed.
