+dnl gcc versions up to 2.95.3 had a problem with the std::advance function,
+dnl when the number of steps forward was given by an unsigned number, since
+dnl a comparison >=0 was performed on this number which leads to a warning
+dnl that this comparison is always true. This is, at the best, annoying
+dnl since it crops up at several places where std::advance is called from
+dnl inside the library. Check whether the present version of the compiler
+dnl has this problem
