Matt,
as a starter, something crude like this for a separate program,
e.g. types.c.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <linux/joystick.h>
main() {
#if defined(__GNUC__)
printf("__GNUC__ is defined\n");
#else
printf("__GNUC__ is NOT defined\n");
#endif
#if defined(__STRICT_ANSI__)
printf("__STRICT_ANSI__ is defined\n");
#else
printf("__STRICT_ANSI__ is NOT defined\n");
#endif
}
If I compile and run this on pure64 using the CLFS headers, I get
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $./types
__GNUC__ is defined
__STRICT_ANSI__ is NOT defined
