GCC (installed on a VAX 3600, running VMS 5.1) detects 3 errors when
compiling compress.c (from compress.tar on prep.ai.mit.edu).  The VAX
C compiler has no problem with this.  Any ideas.

Is GNU C supposed to be completely compatible with other VAX languages?
I have an example of a case where a c program, compiled by GNU, and
called by a fortran program, dies with an access violation.  The same
c code, compiled by VAXC (version 3.0), linked with the fortran caller,
runs fine.  Do you want to see the source codes?
