Yes, g++ does a better job for some of Chris's examples than gcc does.

For the second example we get

t.c:1: error: 'pid_t' has not been declared

For the third example:
t.c:2: error: 'int64' does not name a type

However, most of the criticisms do apply, and the spell checker is a
very good idea.
