Thanks!

Ha, it turns out that c99_r has excellent C99 compliance. :)

Totally legit, we should use xlc (at least the front end) more often.


So maybe our code base is not C99 compliant enough and we have to switch back for sanity.



For the _decimal problem at hand, if you give me the compiler identification macro (__xlc__ or something?) I can try the same as for MSVC and use the explicit EXTINLINE definition.
