It does; it mentions line 26.  It seems that your `main' function was
not declared as returning `int', which ANSI requires, so GCC changed it
for you.  The "Abort!" may or may not be related to this error (though
see if it goes away when you fix it); strictly speaking, it's a compiler
bug.  If you'll send me the source as it is, I'll try to track it down
and report it to the GCC maintainers.
