Hi,
so perhaps we can remove this requirement from the documentation, or relax it
somewhat? I also would like to ask about the gcc 2.95 requirement, its also a
bit hard to test, IMHO. I have no machine available which still uses this
version.

"the code
must compile on all the arhitectures (this currently includes
linux, freebsd, netbsd, openbsd, solaris >= 8; x86, ultrasparc,
strongarm;
gcc 2.95, 3.x, icc, sun cc >=5.3)."
How is this tested? Do all developers have access to all these
platforms? Do we have a buildbot that automatically runs these tests?
It's not. I used to do it for older ser versions, before releases.
However even if it's not tested all the time, it's a good reason to
reject patches or fix someone elses code.
For example I seriously doubt that sr compiles anymore with sun cc 5.3.
