I though I already responded, but the message was still in my drafts
folder.  Sorry.

Yes, it is supposed to be supported.  I don't test with Emacs 21 (nor
XEmacs) though.  The major reason not to drop support for Emacs 21 is
that we won't gain much because often the same code is necessary for
XEmacs 21.4 (and 21.5).

I've committed this:

;; Only necessary for `declare' when compiling Gnus with Emacs 21.
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))

Bye, Reiner.
