I would describe it in a mail with less hash words but that does not
change the true facts.  It is getting worse with every new release.
IMHO, the whole thing stems from an ill-attempted race to prove that gcc
produces better - in the sense of faster - code than LLVM (and to some
extend icc).  Too sad.

Given that the newer compiler versions give better warnings and thus
help to write better code, they should only be used as a mandatory lint
pass.  The actual used code should then be created by an old version with
only known bugs.
