A huge amount of the code in rtl uses macros as lvalues that officially (according to H&S) aren't lvalues (because they are casted). Our C compiler doesn't let you get away with this, making it a royal pain to compile rtl. -Miles

This code compiles without complaints using Sun's C compiler, so we were unaware of the problem. Is it possible that you could send me a list of filenames that contain violations? We will then correct this problem (and the > 14 character filename problem that was mentioned) and make a new release. Thank you for letting us know of problems with rtl. Joe Camaratta Siemens RTL
