Oops, good point. I'm not sure how to tell if it's available or not (I
think it was accidentally ommitted in some gcc releases), but gcc seems
to tolerate me writing my own, so I did that.
I'll look into how to do it properly.

Nice, that's great news! Solar also mentioned I should read this, I'll
do that and see if there are any ideas to steal :-)

Thanks!
