I compiled the latest (dbz support) version of C News using the
recently ported GCC on SCO Xenix 386 2.2.  After successfully running
all regression tests and using the system without evident problems
of any kind for over a week, I discovered in notebook/problems
that the '-traditional' flag must be used if compiling with GCC.
Since I did not use this flag, I have a couple questions:

Is it safe to assume that this requirement has been eliminated?

If not, can anyone give details of the specific problems referred to and
how they are manifested?
