In addition, you can use OpenSP 1.5pre5 from the OpenJade project with no
problem (it uses autoconf and includes fixes specificaly for the stricter
GCC in Red Hat > 7.0). We are using lq-nsgmls on v.w3.org and OpenSP for
some experimental XML formats so both should be fine. At most you'll lose
the "(explanation...)" links in validation results as this aspect of our
code isn't very robust.
