Will do.

For non-gcc compilers I'll make it bail with an #error....

Hmm... I don't think this is the first GCC-ism to be required in
Kaffe.  (E.g., config/i386/common.h is full of GCC asms.)

However, I don't see anything in the README/INSTALL about requiring
GCC.  There are notes that gmake is required, but I don't think thats
true anymore ... :/

Has anyone here built Kaffe recently with a non-GCC compiler?
