Cxx is pretty strict too in strict_ansi mode (but it has problems of
its own). CC is strict, but there are bugs we could not work around
yet. The problem with strict compilers is that they issue errors
instead of warnings...

I do not see from the code where the problem lies... If you can
provide a precise description, or better fix the code, we should
definitely make it work with aCC -E.
