+  *) modules/filters: PR 63633: Fix broken compilation when using old GCC (<4.2.x).
+     The above line could be used as CHANGES item.
+     The GCC flag "-Wno-error=comment" introduced by r1855446
+     and r1850745 (backported in r1856931) is only known since GCC 4.2.
+     Since it gets set unconditionally, this breaks compilation with old GCC
+     even when not using maintainer mode.
+     Make the fix for maintainer mode more specific by using
+     a version dependent pragma in the relevant two C files
+     only switching off error status for comment warnings.
+     The original maintainer mode problem seems to happen only
+     on certain platforms (observed on MacOS) or clang, because I could
+     not reproduce with GCC on Linux and Solaris. So not fixing the maintainer
+     mode problem for ancient GCC before 4.6 might be OK. more important is not
+     to break normal compilation on old platforms.
