Thanks a lot for the hint. Unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem.
I studied the gcc manual and found that your statement is absolutely
correct and -Wno-long-long should do the trick but I do get the same
error during compile. I could place the -W-option before or behind
-pedantic in the g++ command line but no success.

I revisited the description of the -pedantic option and do think now
that I could leave it out from now on.
