  I believe that the way gcc and cc handle functions returning struct is
not the same. If this is the case then you have to either generate
incorrect C (as you have) to fool the compiler into expecting the native
cc conventions, or recompile every library you use with gcc.

  Using libraries compiled with one compiler with programs compiled with
another is always a possible cause of problems with calling sequences.
