I'm well aware of what the problem is. Did you actually try the
`-isystem /usr/openwin/include' (after replacing /usr/openwin/include
with the correct one for you system of course) option and have it 
not work for you? The `-isystem <DIR>' option tells GCC to treat all 
headers under <DIR> as system headers, which are treated a bit more 
leniently. 

Using -fpermissive is a bad idea unless you absolutely have to.

If -isystem didn't work in this case, it's a bug in GCC, and the
developers will appreciate a report to gcc-bugs at gcc.gnu.org (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ for info on how and what to send for a bug
report).
