I think Gnu adopted the numeric extensions at one point, but I don't
know if they're in the current generation of the compiler. There *is* a
PC port of gcc. Check out Cygwin ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ )
for example.

   I'm pretty sure that:

   1/ The ADI extensions never worked correctly.  At least not if
      you turned on the optimizer.

   2/ They have long since been obsoleted in the GCC code
      (there was some discussion about some code support for
       iterators that wasn't totally dead, but nobody had a clue
       about how it was supposed to work.)
