Guido,
    You'll never win that argument with the gcc developers. If you
rely on undefined behavior in the c language standard, they have
in the past, and will continue to, feel free to ignore those cases.
If you plan on ignoring this issue, just be prepared to see a 
testcase failure in the python testsuite when python is built with
gcc 4.2.
            Jack
