Summary: Minix ST compiler > 64K?  Yes!

Yes.  Andy Tanenbaum said it would a couple of months ago, and voiced
concern that this would cause portability problems between the ST and
PC versions of Minix.  Oh well - I'm willing to accept non-portability
for the ability to write large programs, if necessary, on my ST.

This was answered in the message just before yours here at obie.  It
is the Amsterdam Compiler Kit (ACK) compiler, with the 68000 backend.
I don't think it supports function prototypes, the PC version
doesn't.
