There already is an advisory in the INSTALL file about using older versions
of gcc/egcs.  People who don't know how to compile and fix problems like
this, and don't read the INSTALL file should be installing from packages
any-ways.  This is fundamentally a system mis-configuration problem, and it's
not our job to administer every machine that wants to compile balsa.
