Problems with Text_t

Hello Rooters,

Using egcs with root and I'm finding compiling errors like:
/usr/local/root/include/TROOT.h:175: invalid type `const char[3]' for default argument to `Text_t *'

Which for this case refers to:
void SetDefCanvasName( Text_t *name="c1") {fDefCanvasName = name;}

Now this seems to be fixed if I cast "c1" as (Text_t *) But then as soon as I
fix this I find a similar error with:
TColor.h:34: invalid type `const char[1]' for default argument to `Text_t *'

Do I have to fix every occurrence, or better, is there a compiler switch
that I'm missing which will fix this?
