Yea, I know. This and the fact that gcc-4.1.x is not the current release
series, so i decided to leave it alone.

4.1 has lots of problems, and lots of problems were thusly fixed in the
current (and upcoming) release(s). Trying to fix 4.1 it doesn't make
sense to me, there's enough to do in current stuff that is way more
interresting, at least IMO.

But i'm digressing..
