Probably I should not be complaining.

It comes out that 3/27/01 update of C compiler does something
strange to compilation of Alef (8al) from 2ed.

The source is compiled correctly (no errors) if 'typestr' is taken
care of with a redefine.

The generated image (8al) compiles syntactically correct, alef programs
but faults (sys/trap) on programs with syntax errors.

If one generates the same image using pre 3/27/01 C compiler (thanks
Lucio) the image produces correct behavior.

So what was changed? Is there a way to undo it?
