Not necessarily.  As it is now, the #if statements consider the new
-mint8 behaviour to apply to any GCC version >= 3.5.  This will
naturally include GCC 4.x as well. ;-)  But OK, in that case, part of
the logic is not useful anymore, and can be simplified, and it's even
dangerous in case the 3.x line will ever be followed up with a
different 3.5 release.

So yes, if they opt for 4.x, we'd better change our header file.
