according to gcc, it is strictly conforming. it compiles
perfectly. here is more strict version:

	bent!oz| gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -o t t.c
	bent!oz| ./t
	hello boyd!

now, with -O

	bent!oz| gcc -O -Wall -ansi -pedantic -o t t.c
	t.c:4: parse error before `__extension__'

this is absolute crap. here is t.c. so obvious, i'm surprised
you of all people had to comment.

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <string.h>
	
	extern char *strcpy(char *, const char *);

	int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        	char buf[10];
	        strcpy(buf, "hello boyd!");
	        printf("%s\n", buf);
        	return 0;
	}
