<body class='hmmessage'>It was probably compiled with -Os. With gcc, that I don't think I built myself, the "standard" Cygwin one (3.x, not 4.x, not my doing/choice, 3.x is what they have).<BR>
C can be perfectly ok, and C can be difficult to understand. The same is probably true of Modula-3.<BR>
I have to punt on this for now and just not optimize.<BR>
Too much else to do.<BR>
Hopefully some day someone else will try NT386GNU.<BR>
Once I get the spawn/perf stuff in I can try to make a mondo "std" distribution, even with all the X stuff (did I mention that Juno appears to work? :) ) and declare it done! (modulo dtoa...leave it for someone else.. maybe still fix __stdcall but it kind of drops away as mattering, NT386 works for Win32 GUI, NT386GNU works for X Windows GUI, NT386MINGNU nobody cares about)<BR>

<DIV>How was dtoa compiled? That code is a fragile part of the run-time system that uses C that breaks with some C compilers. (See why I hate non-portable C!).</DIV><BR>
