Just thought I'd mention that "little ole me" is using IBM vac on AIX
rather than gcc.
This has more to do with maintaining the gcc rte requirements of
anything built by gcc rather compiler features.
There is one gcc compiler feature that has proved a show-stopper -
constructor - in glibc (Gnome). There they also make an exception for
Windows, but not for "other" compilers.
FYI: calling the IBM C compiler as c99 magically makes it c99 compliant,
as xlc makes it c99 plus several extensions - and take note - as cc it
is "pre-c89". In other words, calling IBM compiler as "cc" is not a wise
thing to do - I recommend to anyone listing to use either "xlc" or "xlc_r".
