To be completely honest -- that's not their fault actually. Its just that GCC is so broken when it comes to compatibility that you wouldn't believe it. Thanks, Roman. P.S. Here at Sun I've been putting some of the GCC extensions into Sun Studio, and even though I usually feel disgusted about most of them -- things like asm inlines are actually quite useful. And that's what kenc has no way of providing.
