Those ^^ seem regressions - I'll try to fix them.

Those ^^ are due to a

     #error test skipped

kind of thing and should be marked as expected (the library's default
configuration does not know about nonstandard calling conventions
implemented by those compilers - probably none).

I recently spotted some problems with other compilers (BCC in
particular) that deserve a closer look.

What's the schedule for the upcoming release - IOW how much time do I have?
