Problems compiling gcc 2.7.2

[Paulo Pinto]

You right about fixing the generated code.
However now I've tried two other approaches
and both of them work.

If I use other C compiler to compile the language
runtime, it works. This was tested with lcc.

If I recode the main() function in assembly along
the generated code from my compiler, it also
works.

So now I don't know if this is really a stack corruption
that only gcc becomes aware. Or if I am just missing
something related to mixing asm/gcc/libc.

Cheers,
Paulo
