There are two totally unrelated OSes that are called
(case-insensitively) "risc os", therefore it's essential to get the
case right.

I wasn't targetting my comment on this particular case. It was meant to
be rather a general statement not to concentrate on GCC extensions.
This limits portability.

Norcroft C is one of the very few compilers that really implements C90
and C99 (selectable via command line switch) and not just something
that looks similar (like GCC does). I'd rather care about a compiler
that actually adheres to the language specification. But I understand
that viewpoints may differ.
