The last sentence of this page is indicative:

	http://www.gnome.org/projects/ORBit2/orbit-docs/orbit/x166.html

quote:

	If ORBit2 2.7 does not compile with some commercial C
	compilers, this is because it uses a number of gcc extensions
	which are not supported elsewhere.  you can always download
	gcc and install that for it to work.

What's puzzling is why ORBit is such an important program that is
can't live without the gcc extensions?
