I'm on to it. Thanks!

I've now tried to detect this by checking for a too high version number.
Anything 5.0 or above is not treated as gcc anymore.

Not only that, I've added more aggressive debug warnings and I think the all
time record was beaten this afternoon when I got 1786 warnings on my solaris
gcc build... Most of the being in the OpenSSL headers, and the majority of the
rest being falsed warnings because of -Wcast-align. I think I've fixed the
configure now to pass on options to prevent warnings on openssl (and similar)
headers, and I've removed the -Wcast-align again since it gives just a little
too many warnings!
