   Welcome to 2021. Specifically about 1 week ago in 2021.   
   We now have a gccwin that is C90-compliant and only   
   dependent on the C90 subset of msvcrt.dll that is also   
   present in the PDPCLIB version of msvcrt.dll.   
      
   It is actually the C compiler I recommend for general use.   
   Can be compiled from source using just a C compiler,   
   including itself. Doesn't need bash or cygwin. The makefile   
   doesn't use tabs and can be processed by pdmake.   
      
   I use it myself for a reason.
