Changes to GCC in development

[Quentin Spencer]

The package cln was built on development on May 28. It still builds on 
FC4, but now fails on development. I'm getting errors that begin with 
something like this:

../include/cln/string.h:30: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 
'cl_string' with no type
../include/cln/string.h:30: error: 'cl_string' is neither function nor 
member function; cannot be declared friend
../include/cln/string.h:30: error: expected ';' before 'operator'

It appears gcc-4.0.0-11 was released on June 6. Does anyone know whether 
this release is now enforcing some rules that were not enforced before? 
Can strict checking be turned off with compiler flags? I don't know C++ 
well enough to understand exactly what's going wrong here.
