Thus spake Peter Elmer (Peter.Elmer at cern.ch):

> Are you sure this is gcc 4.5.1? With the stock gcc 4.5.1 build (not any
> RH almost-gcc451) it doesn't compile. (And is arguably not correct, I
> think, although I'm not a C++ lawyer.) I'm fairly certain that this is
> not an error in our code as such.

Built from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.5.1/gcc-4.5.1.tar.bz2
with no additional patches applied. Yes, I'm pretty darn sure that this
is a real gcc-4.5.1 and that no distribution specific patches made it
into any part of my system, since I'm not using a distribution. In fact
I can give you the exact configure and install options for my whole
toolchain if you want.

On the other hand you haven't even told us whether you see an error or
just a warning, let alone the actual compiler output. If you want us to
follow up on this, please provide us with a minimal example that shows
the behaviour you see (whatever that might be). You know, in God we
trust, all others have to provide data.
