Right now I got some problems which I'm planning to solve during the
weekend,
here are two examples:

rvoid argv_init(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)

rchar *chkjh;
chkjh = (rchar *) rnull;
rchar *chkcp; <--- MSVC flags this as a compilation error
..\jvm\src\argv.c(127) : error C2275: 'rchar' : illegal use of this type

I remember banging my head into this same kind of problem some years
ago. You must always put variable definitions at the start of the
block; so the start of the function should probably go like this:
rvoid argv_init(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
rchar *chkjh = (rchar *) rnull;
rchar *chkcp = (rchar *) rnull;
rchar *chkbcp = (rchar *) rnull;
...
The problem is that
chkjh = (rchar *) rnull;
is no longer an initialization, it is an assignment and these
two are different beasts altogether.
I seem to remember ANSI C requires this definitions-at-the-start
behaviour and MSVC seems to do it by the book. Hope I'm not
mistaken (I haven't actually used MSVC for quite some time).
