Experimentation leads me to believe that gcc-1.35 and Sun cc (as
distributed in SunOS 4.0.3 for a Sun-3/80) pass structure parameters
differently.  I suspect that Sun decided to always pass structures by
reference or some such silliness -- anyway the two don't mix.  I've
tried using -fpcc-struct-return (the recommended fix for struct
function results) to no avail.  Is there some magic way to make
gcc-compiled code compatible with cc-compiled code?

	Thanks.
