I wouldn't be surprised if it does soon - after all, it whines about

started compiling the Windows version of my stuff with MinGW, and the
process began anew.

I think it was 11 that got stuffy about defining variables in header
files. It never was a good practice but it was done frequently in some of
our legacy code. Luckily yet another switch told it to shut up and go
about its business like it always did. Trying to fix it would have been a
month project for a newbie and we didn't have a newbie handy.
