Thanks Tim,

  You guys are great. I'll wait for the updates and then dive back in with gcc
4.5.2. The gcc bug was a neat issue. You can see how a simply change to bring
the g++ compiler into compliance with standards can reap havoc on existing code.
Surprisingly, I understood the issue (the details of which were way over my
head). But, the change to gcc in
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11764 resulting in gcc >= 4.5 not
accepting the existing class constructor made sense.

 What? - Trinity building on the new gcc? Looks like we have us a modern day
desktop in the works :p
