The patch to power.h (and power.cpp) breaks ABI, so it was not applied
to the stable (1.4) branch.

I've applied your patch to master, ginac_1-4 and ginac_1-3 branches, see

http://159.93.129.199/gitweb.cgi?p=ginac.git;a=commit;h=2ba3a7625b322bdd07dfae38a9a3843ac1df1461

That's kind of already done. If you still insist on commiting them
into CVS, the following information might be useful.

The patch did not apply cleanly to ginac_1-4 branch (although it applied
just fine to master and ginac_1-3):

$ git-am patches/0001-Fix-GCC-4.3-compilation-issue-by-removing-storage.patch

Applying * Fix GCC 4.3 compilation issue by removing storage class of function coerce specializations [C++98 7.1.1-1].

error: patch failed: ginac/numeric.cpp:408
error: ginac/numeric.cpp: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001.
When you have resolved this problem run "git-am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git-am --skip".

Apparently the reason was some whitespace damage in numeric.cpp (in the
ginac_1-4 branch).

May be you've got the same problem?

Best regards,
