    We finally did it!  SYSV 3.6's pcc was good enough (finally) that
if you leave off optimizing (an absolute requirement) and otherwise follow
the advice of Randy Clayton, it compiles.

    We were doing the compile on a spare machine, with 4MB on the 147
card, and it took over 20 minutes before we aborted the compilation of
cparse-tab.c.  A sar taken while this was running showed 0% user, 30%
system, 70% wio, and 0% idle.  We removed the CPU, plugged in another
unit with 8MB, and that module compiled in under three minutes, with sar
showing 95% user, 5% system and 0% wio after the first minute (to load
up all the files into memory)

    On the other hand, gnucc still uses the normal Motorola libraries,
which are still seriously broken.  Does anybody have any idea why the
following program core dumps after the "ints are" line? It'll crash
after that line no matter where you put it, except the last line. 

    Note:  I tried j, sizeof( int ), sizeof( i ), and the constant 4,
and it core dumps no matter what.

#include	<stdio.h>
#include	<sys/sysm68k.h>

char    str[200];

void main()
{
	int	i,j;

	j = sizeof( i );

	printf( "Ints are %d bytes\n", j);
	printf( "Terminal ID is: %s\n", ctermid() );
	printf( "User ID is: %s\n", cuserid() );
	printf( "Current directory is: %s\n", getcwd( str, 128) );
	printf( "Your PATH is: %s\n", getenv( "PATH" ) );
	printf( "Your CPU board type is %d\n", sysm68k( S68CPUBRD ) );
}
