Mmh, runs fine here. Maybe a problem with line breaks? WinCVS has certainly 
inserted CRs, and perhaps the shell doesn't like them.

Looks OK at the first glance (save that it is encouraged to use the 
GeekGadgets GCC).

This looks weird, but if there really is a problem with line breaks, then it 
would probably be an explanation for this, too.

Unless WinCVS allows to set which line breaks are to be used, there's also a 
source tar ball available. I just don't have the address at hand right now. 
Can anyone help out?
