[comp.sys.atari.st] Which C Compiler?

Okay everybody.... 

I have been trying to get a PD version of TeX going for a while
now.  I have gotten two different versions of TeX in C under
two different C compilers to pass the trip test.  The problem is that
both compilers get too buggy after the sizes of arrays get too big.
I posted a bug report for MWC 3.0 last week.  TeX just will not
run with arrays set up to handle plain.tex or lplain.tex.  I
have nearly given up on the compilers and I am going to compile
the sources on a Sun with gcc and assemble the resulting assembly code
on the ST's.  I'd like to hear a better solution, but this seems
to be the only solution at this time.

How debugged has Manx C become?  Anybody out there care to discuss 
this?  When I tried it on TeX, it was somewhat buggy in the 
'Portability' mode.

-Greg
