GCC

   Mary [8]posted a simple summary of compiling with GCC.

   In particular, note that rather than compiling like this:

     gcc source.c

   you should compile like this:

     gcc -Wall -pedantic source.c

   as the Wall and pedantic flags will catch errors that do compile, but
   are probably errors.
