 i agree that it's ideal to convince the gcc team.
 although i think it's difficult, reading the comment on the bug report.
 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15685
 
 IMO, in this case, being different is fine.
 if a user installs a broken compiler by himself,
 he'll get a broken compiler.  there is no difference from
 the case of arbitrary broken software.
