The only exception was for erc32 and since that doesn't build at all I've now disabled it. > * In the past several simulators were only built when compiling with > gcc. That code was ripped out. Why? Why not. From '98 (although I suspect '96): # The PowerPC simulator uses the GCC extension long long as well as # ANSI prototypes, so don't enable it for random host compilers # unless asked to. hence the test. Fast forward 7 years - even GCC now assums ISO-C and long-long is a defacto "standard". Andrew
