As of January, the compiler used the system linker and
as a result (second hand info) you cannot use underscores
and upper/lower case is not distinguished in external (global)
identifiers.  Don't recall, but I think the identifier
length was one shorter than usual.  Unique structure member
names are required (as with Ritchie & pcc but not bsd) which
makes packaging more difficult.
Don't know if they implemented passing/returning of structures.
