+*** Please downgrade/upgrade C compiler to gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x version! ***

+You're using a different compiler than us, and we don't have the time to make
+sure everything works with every compiler out there. Please either use the
+same compiler we do, or use --disable-gcc-checking but DO *NOT* report bugs
+unless you can reproduce them after recompiling with 2.95.x or 3.x version!
+
+Note for gcc 2.96 users: there were and are problems with this version!
+If you get compile errors, first upgrade to the latest 2.96 release
+(but minimum 2.96-85) and try again. If the problem still exists, try with
+gcc 3.x (or 2.95.x) *BEFORE* reporting bugs! gcc 2.96 is TOTALLY UNSUPPORTED
+by us!   *** For details please read DOCS/gcc-2.96-3.0.html ***
