Great.  Was this compiler written by the same bozos who wrote the MS-DOS
C cross-compiler for the '196?  That one gracefully generates syntax
errors for `unsigned int foo();' within  function bodies.  It fares
better for `unsigned int bar;' within a function; it saves its errors
for incorrect code generation, conveniently throwing away the desired
result of an assignment and saving garbage instead.  Beauty, eh?
