Yes. Luckily, GCC can still handle simple C constructs ;-) When running i686-unknown-linux-tcc and mes-tcc to compile a trivial C program, the output produced by `lotsa debug printing' from both compiler runs is now identical, as is the resulting ELF binary. janneke -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> | GNU LilyPond http://lilypond.org Freelance IT http://JoyofSource.com | Avatar® http://AvatarAcademy.com
