Thanks for the instructions on using patch (it's simple!) but I realized that it is not good way to go because a version I provide to people would be quickly out of date, or I would be forced to keep patching the latest version (and eventually the patch would not work of course).
I've put the patch into the official sources, but inactivated by `#if 0'. So, all you've got to do is activate the patch before compiling future GPC versions.
If you want the compiler switch, you can either wait until we get around to it in our normal progress of work, or you can pay us (or any other programmer) to do it now. That's your option with free software...

Ok, great! That solves one problem. (Though I don't know how to "activate a patch" other than just patch or download the source again.)

I'm quite content to wait for you to get around to this! Thanks!!
