If you're using MIPSPro, it's only compatible with the standard up to C99 - but Mips Inc. has assigned one of their professional programmers to the GCC project, so hopefully GCC will be able to do a much better job of compiling optimized code for Mips in the somewhat near future. EDIT: By the way, as I often point out, MIPSPro is available, with a working license, from my website:
