The idea that older versions of GCC didn't have as many bugs doesn't hold up to any scrutiny: http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1036

Not all compiler bugs are equal. Miod has a pretty good sense of which compilers exhibited the worst bugs in practice and the effort required to fix/workaround them.

Well done.

It is really worrying because it seems to be the trend with everything, from web browsers, compilers, all the way down to kernels.
