Draft version 0.8 contains a makefile for gcc under prj/gcc directory. I 
compiled the example with gcc from OpenSuse 10.2. I left the executable 
and object files (for 80x86) in the zip file so I hope some other people 
can run it in case there is a problem.

What impressed me is how fast the benchmark was compared to Microsoft's 
compiler. The malloc routine of gcc must be very good.

Larry, what are you trying to run the program on? is it a PowerPC 
machine? if so, your version may crash due to different endianess 
(perhaps because pointer addresses are used as bitfields?)...
