Details please:

Not much besides
a) When it is our fault, fix the code
b) When it is the compilers fault, either fix the compiler or change our
code to work around the bug.

Would be quite a mess to maintain, and if the compiler is found to fail
on one file, how does you know that it doesn't produce similar errors in
other files? It is not like we have an extensive test suite that makes
sure each line of code is tested...
