OK, Sorry, I must have confused you with some other guy.

That is of course convenient. Is it also really madatory?
Open source does not mean that you can have everything without spending
money. Must not 'free compiler' be replaced by 'available compiler'?

Anyway, as long as PureC compatibility (or better ANSI 2nd ed.) is maintained,
I have nothing to say.

My reaction was priamarily induced by the procedure you use.
I would have expected you to have imported the sourcetree in the CVS as is.
And then work on GCC stuff on your local copy.

Ok, fine.

PS.
I am working on a ANSI 2nd ed. SozobonXXL ;-)
But I cannot promise to finish it in a certain amount of time.

Spring is breaking out and after spring comes summer. I have those
moments that computers start to disgust me and I just want to be free
of them for a sunstantially long period. Eventually such feelings
always fade away. ;-)
