Thank you for the answers, Axel, Gabriel.
Installing a newer version of g++ is a possibility, since this is
research I am doing for a possible future port.
The distro I am running has a few versions of gcc in its catalog, the
question is, which version of gcc supports the extension?
These are the versions of gcc I could potentially install to test it.
gcc-4.4.1
gcc-4.3.4
gcc-4.3.3-r2
gcc-4.3.2-r4
gcc-4.3.2-r3
I will try installing gcc-4.4.1 first to see.
Thanks for your help.
