This is fine, isn't it?

Agree that that is unhelpful.

Could it be that it is not strictly allowed to compare two pointers that
don't point into the same object, and that GCC now enforces this?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_%28computing%29, under "C and
C++": "Pointer arithmetic, that is, the ability to modify a pointer's
target address with arithmetic operations (as well as magnitude
comparisons), is restricted by the language standard to remain within
the bounds of a single array object (or just after it), though many
non-segmented architectures will allow for more lenient arithmetic."
