This seems to raise the interesting question of what Green Hill's C
*does* work with!  As for GNU C, I have v1.29 up and running from a
first stage compile.  Seems to work compiling sendmail 5.59 anyway.
Please post a comparison when possible.  I don't think GNU C compiles
any quicker than PCC (with the optimizer anyway), but it produces
vastly better code.
