Umm, this *is* on a proprietry platform. The problem is that if it
isn't tested much then people don't find the problems... We try to
support as many platforms as possible, but are limited by what people
actually use.

And in this case it's not the compiler that's the problem but the
system libraries, which are different from every other platform.

Have a nice day,
