When I run a compiled GNU-C program, it complains that the machine
must be in REAL MODE to run this program, although the PC version of GCC
uses PROTECTED MODE instructions. I found out that the switching mechanism
between REAL MODE and PROTECTED MODE used by GNU-C is a bit complicated.
Obviously GNU-C wants to switch to PROTECTED MODE on its own, and this is
only possible when the machine is in REAL MODE before calling the program.
   Since GNU-C expects the processor to be in REAL MODE, I have to make sure
that no other program switched the CPU to PROTECTED MODE before. (I've "high-
loaded" some TSRs and parts of the DOS system, and this causes a switch to
PROTECTED MODE. So I always have to change my CONFIG.SYS when I use GNU-C.
But this is no solution...)

Anybody who has an idea?
Any hint on this is welcome (perhaps it's only a misunderstanding of the
.DOC files...!?)

(Probably this has been posted before, but sorry..., I didn't find an
answer...)
