Of course, but that is one of the incompatibility.

Yes one would think so.

The problem is that this command line options didn't work.
Of course the only thing that I have to do is to change the compiler source.
I've done this already, but this is not the solution. (just changing bsd.h a bit)
Than I've the problem getting symbols with underscores. (there should be an
working option)
This is just a bad implementation ... or should I say BUG in Gcc.
