- "The list of interesting UNIX-like porting targets that don't
- support both Standard C and POSIX.1 gets shorter every year.
- I don't feel guilty at all calling code portable even though
- I know it would not compile on a Version 7 UNIX system.

- Of course GCC has a much more agressive view of portability, but it
- certainly would be nice to see more standardization here, and for
- example, it sure would be nice if everyone's make utility implemented
- at least vaguely the same semantics!
