gcc gimpiness

[bascule]

Anyone ever take sizeof(void) in gcc? It's... 1. Virtually every other compiler I've used (MS, Sun, IBM XL, Intel, etc) will give an error if you attempt to take the sizeof(void), or if you attempt to increment/decrement a void pointer... after all, what's the field width of void? Apparently the same as char in GNU's eyes... *sigh*

It's crap like this that makes gimpy packages irrevocably bound to the GNU toolchain

(ed: notice that this behavior can be fixed with -ansi -pedantic)

I believe this issue could possibly be solved by removing the ESR/RMS packages from the relevant distributions ;)
