Yep, I found that right after sending my mail. Sorry for the noise, but
thanks for the reply.

Yes, gcc 2.95.2 is much more standard C++ compliant, which means more
features but also being more picky :-/ Are there any efforts to make the
inventor code "standard C++" compliant ? Would a set of patches to make it
compliant be accepted or are there compelling reasons not to move forward ? 

On a related note, I believe that the problem I'm having with my
application might be because I'm using a newer version of libstdc++. Could
you add the "correct" version of libstdc++ to the list of dependencies in
FAQ.misc ?
