Are you saying that it won't include stdio.h if you use the compiler option?
If you compile with such an option and call fseek (which takes a long),
the compiler option would have it pass a 32-bit "long".  Wouldn't this (and
other situations throughout the code) cause major problems?

Additionally, gcc support for such an option is sparse and, for Alpha,
non-existent.
