Hi,

The following code doesn't compile. 

------
#include <stdio.h>

static FILE *out = stdout;

void main(void)
{
    /* out = stdout; */
    fprintf(out, "hello world\n");
}
------

It gets the following error message:
test.c:3: initializer element is not constant

The fix is to remove the initialiser and add the line which is commented
out.

However the code I am trying to port has these sort of variables spread
all over the place, and I would like to know if there is someway I can
get the compiler to treat it as a constant.

Pete.
