Gcc has 'i386' as a pre-defined identifier indicating your hardware
platform. The ANSI language standard prohibits the compiler from
introducing such names exactly so you as a programmer can use them. You
need to call gcc with the '-ansi' option to get that behaviour though.
You could still detect your platform by checking for '__i386__'
(identifiers starting with underscores are reserved for the
implmentation and should not be used by the programmer). BTW, for new
code I also use the gcc options '-pendantic' and '-Wall' to get all the
help I can get from the compiler.


so long, benny
