Hi!  Can someone please tell me why you use GNU C compiler instead of,
say, the standard distribution that comes with your computer?  Is it
a religious sentiment like somepeople have with a particular brand of,
say, condoms?  I have used GNU C compiler several times, but in general
I find it inferior to standard C compilers on Sun SPARCs, DEC RISCs,
IBM RS/6000s, etc.

Thanks.
