Of course developer would probably be using new compiler, esp. if their
primary platform is some popular GNU/Linux distros.  The fact that they
didn't bother to check what options are they passing does not mean that
our users have to suffer.

I'll check if there any other issues, and try to prepare a patch for you.
Not that I have a lot of free time on my hands, but I just hate stupidity.
If upstream does not know what it takes to develop software correctly, it
becomes our pain. :(
