Re: [9fans] GCC/G++: some stress testing

["Bruce Ellis" <bruce.ellis@gmail.com>]

There is a lot of G code that really essentially is only portable to
linux (or close, e.g. BSDs).  There is other code that works nearly
everywhere that has a GCC.  The "why bother" pessimism is best
reserved for more suitable occasions.  I'm really glad when APE
allows me to compile legacy code and would be equally pleased
when on the odd occaison that GCC was needed, available and
kind to me.
