+ Except for dvisvgm, where we must use the system compiler (gcc 4.1.2,
+ Red Hat 4.1.2-54) or libgs.so crashes trying to use gcc 4.8.2's
+ libstdc++. On the other hand, the system compiler has an optimization
+ bug that causes lcdf-typetools's tfm.test to fail, so it can't be used
+ for everything. Sigh.
