Problems with gtk+1.1.5 and gtk--

[Tom Bech <tomb ii uib no>]

Hello,

Having used an old gtk-- version for ages, I ran into the
delete_event-not-returning-value problem so I decided to 
get a newer release. I just grabbed gtk+/glib-1.1.5 and the
latest CVS snap of GTK--, but GTK-- does not want to
compile:( After installing gtk+glib, I did the usual
(autogen.sh --enable-static=no + make) and get:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../src -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Gtk--\"
-I. -I.
 -I./.. -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include
-I/usr/local/inc
lude -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -ansi -pedantic -Wp,-MD,.deps/gtk--.p -c

gcc -v gives:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.8.1/specs
gcc version 2.8.1

It seems there is some template problem. Does this mean that
gcc 2.8.1 is broken? :(
