The 1.40 gcc did not have a sun-cc compatible structure return
convention. This prohibited the use of gcc in applications which
used the sunwindow function libraries. (I think there's mention of
that in the manual). GNU gcc-2.xx is supposed to have corrected
that, and in a simple window app that I recently compiled with
gcc-2.2.2, that appears to be true.

Moral, get gcc-2 or greater, current version is 2.2.2 available at
prep.ai.mit.edu.
