given:

	main()
	{
		int a,b,signed;

		a = b = signed = 1;
	}

is this legal?   PCC on a vax running 4.3BSD and a Sun running SunOS 3.2
doesn't complain.  Neither does lint (at least on the sun), except to
report that a,b, and signed are set but not used.  On the other hand
GCC doesn't want to see a variable named signed.  Which compiler is
broken?  

Disclaimer:  I don't have a copy of the latest ANSI draft, or even an old
copy of K&R at hand.
