The bug here isn't with gcc it's in ld - there's a problem with binaries
that have text blocks between 1 and 32 bytes larger than a page. Andy and I
clobbered this a while back so it'll be in 1.3.3

BTW, as I seem to be a little in the dark about lcc is it just a C compiler
or will it do C++ as well? Is there an FAQ somewhere around? If we're
going to adopt it as our main compiler, perhaps now would be a good time to
look at a newer native port of gcc that can be available as an extra if it's
wanted :-)
