The heart of the problem is that cpp on gcc5+ behaves differently in some cases from previous versions of gcc (usually on line terminations). Some people are doing sketchy things with cpp and on gcc5, the resulting source file is corrupt. using tradcpp is a work-around to fixing the real problem. There wasn't a lot of fallout, maybe 5 ports or so, but libgpg-error was a big one. John
