Well I've compiled and linked all of 3.4.6 without getting name
clashes either.

It was missing the IDENTIFIER_POINTER so getting a compile
error.

Yes, I've adopted that, thanks.

Anyway, I've finally packaged all those changes discussed on the
list, and also creditted you in the documentation for your assistance
in polishing the product off.  Details in announcement below.

Jujitsu are pleased to announce the release of the
following software:

GCC 3.2.3 MVS 7.5 - GCC C compiler for z/OS, MVS/380, MVS/370.
Delivered in xmit format.

GCC 3.2.3 CMS 7.5 - GCC C compiler for z/VM, VM/380, VM/370.
Delivered in vmarc format.

PDPCLIB 2.00 - C (C90-compliant) runtime library for MVS 
(all flavours), CMS (all flavours), Windows 32, MSDOS, 
OS/2, Linux (new with this release), PDOS. Provided in
source form only, but also delivered as part of GCCMVS
and GCCCMS.

Hercules/380 3.06 v6.0 - Used to run MVS/380. It now does
S/380 even if you specify S/370, so that Hercgui will
work. Now has native support for ftp-rdw files (ie files
that have been transferred from z/OS using ftp with
the RDW option), so that you can quickly get your files
restored to a V dataset. Windows executables provided.
Unix users need to compile from source.

You can find the products at:

http://gccmvs.sourceforge.net
http://pdos.sourceforge.net
http://mvs380.sourceforge.net

(respectively).

Initial documentation can be found in gccmvs.txt,
pdpclib.txt and README.S380 respectively.

Any comments/questions please post over at:

where our complaint department is in operation 24
hours a day, even during Ramadan - may Allah have
mercy on our souls.
