I completely agree.  When I said earlier in this thread "dependence on
GNU gcc has always been bad", I did NOT mean to say that gcc is bad in
itself, just the dependence on any particular C/C++ compiler.

This is also why it is worthwile to go for C89 or C99 standards
compliance.  The less exotic (read: gcc-specific) extensions, the
better.
