Ah, my mistake. I have the sense of pedwarn backwards. For some reason, I thought it meant give a warning in pedantic mode only. Well, it is Friday. :) Of course, with the true meaning of pedwarn, this patch still provides no way to get back to the current state, even with -fpermissive. However, since the current behaviour is wrong, and I for one have no interest in such an extension, I'll not complain. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31988
