Any program written in C, whether or not it's a compiler, is
topical in comp.lang.c.

Unfortunately neither cc32n.c nor cc64.c is written in C.  Rather
they are written in a language that resembles C, and may even be
compilable by some "C" compilers in a non-conforming mode, but
they are not written in standard C.

If you want help with one of these programs, and want to get it
in this newsgroup, get the code to compile under, for example,
gcc -std=c99 -pedantic-errors or gcc -std=c11 -pedantic-errors.
Until that is done people are quite right to tell you to look
for help elsewhere.

Moreover, the code in these programs is a disaster.  No sensible
person would spend any time on it if they have a choice.  If you
want to waste your time on it, that's up to you.  I don't see any
incentive for anyone else to spend any time on it at all, except
perhaps as a learning exercise to see how truly awful bad code
can be.  It's easy to believe no one wants to take credit for
this mess.
