Re: don't want leading underscore
Benjamin,
Where else have you sought solutions to your problems? Have you consulted
the GCC book? Have you asked your questions in one of the GCC-specific
forums? If not, look here: <http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html>.

Of course, but that is one of the incompatibility.

Yes one would think so.

The problem is that this command line options didn't work. Of course the
only thing that I have to do is to change the compiler source. I've done
this already, but this is not the solution. (just changing bsd.h a bit)
Than I've the problem getting symbols with underscores. (there should be
an working option) This is just a bad implementation ... or should I say
BUG in Gcc.
That is a rash and probably unwarranted condemnation.
