in some cases, its not so much that they use a feature of gcc,but that
they rely on default behaviour of it. That being said... I vaguely
recall that, back in the day, there are warning flags in gcc you can
turn on, that make it (almost) as cautious about these things as sun
studio.

So, an even better thing for you to look into, would be to see if you
can find the g++ flag that triggers a warning on the original code,
then suggest to upstream, "please compile with these flags from now
on".
