Oh. Thanks for the reminder. I think that, in fact, it might be
time to remove gccchecker entirely. valgrind is an easier-to-use
replacement that works at least as well in practice. Checker has
not seen any upstream work in a long time, and I don't think it
works with modern versions of GCC.
I will upload a fixed version or file a removal request by
sometime this weekend.
