The problems not with the compiler. Indeed, the Mac OS X compiler is gcc. The
problem, in this case, is almost assuredly with the Mac OS X C pre-processor,
cpp-precomp. Cpp-precomp is a little weird, but it handles pre-compiled
headers which is a big win when you're doing daily kernal compilations, so
the Apple folks have learned to live with it. Bill, I bet if you compile wget
using the "-traditional-cpp" CFLAG (which causes gcc to use GNU cpp instead of
cpp-precomp), it will compile just fine.
