-I use TC 2.0 for all my development, and MSC 5.1 for the final release code.

This seems irresponsible to me.  It basically guarantees that if MSC ever
generates obscurely bad code, you probably won't find out until a customer
calls to complain about your software dying a horrible death.

Using different tools to develop a product than the tools used to build the
final release for customers is a VERY bad idea.

[Since this issue is not C-related, I've directed followups to
