One of the reasons there is misconception about the number of bugs in
the gcc compiler, is because there is a wide platform (the USENET)
they are discussed on. Each time I get a new cc from one of my
vendors, there are tens to houndreds of errors corrected. Almost all
of these errors I did not know that they existed at all.  With gcc we
*KNOW* about most of the errors. That's the difference.
