I didn't think that it did either, but I wondered if it had a dual
unix (-flag) vs. vms (/qualifier) nature like vmstar.  It should certainly
all for:

    gcc --version

to determine the version.  Unfortunately I have no working gcc
installation on VMS here.

OK I'll see if I can test something like that (we are getting really close
to the deadline, I'd really like to test a non default prefix mms install
too :-)

Yep.  VMS V7.1 with anal/image sys$library:decc$crtl.exe turns up:

     image format major id: 3, minor id: 0
        Image Identification Information

                image name: "DECC$CRTLMAP"
                image file identification: "V4.5"
                image file build identification: ""
                link date/time: 13-MAY-1998 03:43:37.61
                linker identification: "A11-39"

The problem with the regression tests did not appear on this
machine with any of the bleadperl kits until a couple of days ago.
Basically after the fwrite() and vmspipe patches were put in.
Like I said previously I can rule out the fwrite patch as the cause,
I am not sure about the vmspipe patch though.
