Please don't multi-post.

Here's my reply to your post in gnu.gcc.help:

Well, are you talking about 'C' or 'C++'?
You say 'C', but 'g++' is a C++ compiler, and
files with '.cc' extension are usually C++ files.
'gcc' is the 'C' compiler.

Without a complete source code example that demonstrates
the problem, it is hard for anyone to say what you might
be doing wrong.

Larry
