| This may be a FAQ but I can't find the FAQ...

| The gcc I am using is not putting underscores before the symbol

| the default _is_ underscores (sorry about the underscores).
| can anyone tell me whats going on?
| 
| Is it a standard in all C compilers to have underscores?

It is up to each implementation to decide whether to put underscores
in or not.  Gcc generally follows the convention of the host libraries
so that you can link against them.  If a particular implementation
uses the wrong underscore convention, please bug report it so it can
be fixed.  It often times depends on whether the assembler has
register names starting with '$', '%' or some such.  Check out the
assembler format subsection in the target macros section of the
manual.
