Declaring this in a header doesn't seem like the right thing to do, 
to me at least.  What's the error you get?

Hmm, in fact, wasn't gcc 4.0.0 blacklisted in many toolchains for 
being buggy?  I'm pretty sure it was in KDE.
And I particularly remember Fedora shipping buggy compilers (and 
patched with unofficial patches) on more than one occasion.  :o(

Perhaps it's a better idea to try a different compiler version?
