Effectively that's what bootstrapping already does, so IIUIC, as long as no C99 creeps into the core C language compiler, it /should/ work to use C99 (and indeed GCC language extensions, attributes etc. etc.) in e.g. the cp/ subdirectory or other places where the files only relate to other languages. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
