    Yes. I agree on this. I would also like to have a compiler which
    compiles with strictest warning settings possible, because I'm
    developing on several platforms at once.

    But I like gcc-3.x (for my C++ programs) very much and would like to
    continue programming with this compiler, even it does not compile
    hello world with -pedantic.

    Wouldn't it be better to complain in a gcc mailing list? You know
    exactly that FreeBSD-current is offering the most recent technologies
    and _this_ is why I like it.
