Right.
But my original question remains unanswered:
Is there an old/incomplete code available somewhere that implements "chip"
keyword in GCC? According to "/pub/ade/PROJECTS" on ftp.amigalib.com:
"Some code already exists and it would be wonderful if somebody would take
this on."
Fred, I guess you wrote it, so you should know! There is no support for
"chip" keyword in Amiga-specific GCC diffs.
