That's a source code bug, of course, not a gcc bug.  Do try to get
your accusations straight.

The ezbounce port compiles fine on 5.3:

The psybnc port is not compilable automatically since it's
interactive, so this problem has not been detected by the automated
builds.  You should raise it with the psybnc port maintainer or the
software developers.
