    After working for years on cc, now I am moving to ansi C. It was said that
ansi C is a lot more strict in error checking, so it is desirable for large
complicated code development. However, I was immediately frustrated when
I started using gcc: The vendors do not make their header files Ansi C
compliant and we end up with hacking around to avoid the warning messages.
Even worse, when I moved the code from one sun environment to another, the
whole thing breaks again and I have to "port" from one sun environment to
another. 

    Is gcc a serious thing or just something for people to play with? Why
does the vendor do not care about the Ansi C too much?  Is ansi C an easy
to use thing (or a practical thing) on most workstations? How do you guys 
feel like? I am a kind of doulbtful whether we should stick to gcc or go
back to cc.

   Thanks.
