The problem we have run into with most PC compilers is that they simply
haven't been tested well enough with large floating-point programs like
spice3.  I think we had some problems with earlier versions of the Microsoft
compiler in this area.  If you are able to compile spice3 with any compilers
you have besides lattice, we'd like to hear about it...
