Re: Mailing List

Ah. Got it. I bet they're overstepping C and that's why the latest gcc
backs away from this. Anyway, my C library calls it "volatile void", which
was what it took to make gcc happy. I see now that I should make the
kernel function have a different name (because he *isn't* the exit system
call, although he implements it). I'll fiddle this for the next release.

Thanks for the report.
