It will if people submit patches... if binary compatible they can even go
in 1.0.x. I don't think a question like this is justified by a couple bugs
ni a brand-new compiler few people are using yet.

Very few people are using 2.95, thus you're finding bugs. We do want to
work with that compiler, so if you want to use it now, please submit
gnome-libs patches. Otherwise, we'll fix it when we upgrade to that
compiler.:-) 

At a minimum, please send a bug report to bugs.gnome.org so we remember to
deal with this issue.
