Given that it is understandable that Apple is no longer interesting
in fixing compiler bugs for 10.6, I think that is the best we could
do to help its users.

This singles out 10.6-and-nothing-else, 10.6-or-older or
10.6-or-newer?

That "-ge", which smells like a copy-and-pasta from the next one
that says "we have getdelim on 10.7-and-newer" bothers me.
