On the subject of GCC not doing anything - which I posted about yesterday.

  I've tried warm boots and hard boots.

  Not for a month or so and I've been compiling up until yesterday.

  I call gcc explicity, it seems to call cpp (it gets done with all the 
include stuff), but cc1 is never executed.

FILES=30

  Again, not for a month or so.

  All programs - even ones that I have compiled 50 times over without even
a warning.  It doesn't quit with an error or anything, it just quits.  It
also cleans up after itself - I can't find a single temp file anywhere.

  Okay.  I type "gcc test.c -lm -lpc -v -O" and I get this and nothing 
but this:

Reading specs from c:/language/gcc/lib/specs

Here's my Autoexec.bat:
