They are not worth the trouble.
Fortunately I was able to fix the 33mb vs. 1tb problem with my WD HDD, using the HDD Capacity Restore tool linked in this article. Data was not damaged, everything still there after the fix.

Linus says:
No, the problem I’ve seen in gcc
is that _some_ of the developers seem to be total d*ckheads when it comes
to “language definition”, and seem to think that it’s more important to

Jeez, I just can’t take those toolkit-fanboys seriously.
