Wow, the snide self-superiority of the previous conversation is really
coming home to roost.

GCC is castigated for having "too many bugs", while 8c is apparently
riddled with *intentional* bugs.  So far we have the
aliasing/registerization bug in optimization, that long long is not
treated as an integer type, and that ?: doesn't work for non-integer
types.

Are there more of these cute litlle intentional bugs?
