A large part of this is self-inflicted. Toolchain packages contain all |
| 9 |
sorts of "cunning plan" tricks that rely upon implementation flukes, |
| 10 |
unspecified behaviour, etc. Eblits are the prime example, but there are |
| 11 |
plenty more too... Unfortunately the toolchain maintainers don't appear |
| 12 |
to be prepared to fix these mistakes. |
