Damn, I was just worrying about this. What architecture(s) were you
using?

Uh, uh, uh. I dunno. I guess it's up to James Clark, if it truly is
a problem in the code (and not a gcc problem). I am not a C++ hacker.

Yuh, what a PITA. I dunno if OpenJade would fix this problem or not.
It does conflict/replace/provide jade AFAIK. However, it is a fork
not a replacement per se. That is, if jade breaks with new gcc and
James Clark won't fix it, I may have to orphan it.
I'll try to get OpenJade uploaded in the next few days. I'm pretty
behind on my Debian work right now.
Can you do me a favor and submit an important bug against Jade
regarding compilation problems and include the failed build log?
