Between 20060508 and 20060530 gcc 4.2 changed to now longer allow the following
code. This error seems bogus to me.
(sid)3733:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~] cat test.cc
extern "C" void foo(register int *my_perl);
(sid)3734:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~] c++ -c test.cc
test.cc:1: error: invalid use of 'register' in linkage specification
zsh: exit 1 c++ -c test.cc
