The compiler in RSXNT *is* GCC.
I seem to be getting different responses from everyone on this one:
"It works"
"Can't work, only NT/Win32 supported"
"GCC won't do it"
"There's a missing .reloc section"
I'm inclined to believe the last one, from Jacob Navia.
Note that I'm not suggesting the the whole compiler/binutils suite
or cygwin.dll should be ported to win32s, but if it's only a matter of
some minor changes to the linker output, then it might be woth doing
for those of us who still want to be able to create binaries for
win3.x..
