Wireshark 0.99.5 fails on GCC 3.4.6

Wireshark hit a compatibility issue with gcc 3.4.6. For now, wireshark doesn’t compile. A fix will probably be ready soon, but this brings up another issue. I am being held at gcc 3.4.6 by Qemu which has some basic design problems with GCC4. Unfortunately, a permanent fix seems to be unsolvable because the permanent solutions discussed involve building a custom compiler to generate the incompatible parts of the code. Knowing this makes me think it’s better to leave Qemu behind and upgrade to GCC4. If I do that I’ll have to reinstall WinXP on my laptop. Running XP in emulation can’t do what I want it to anyway. :(
