Ah. That's the reason, then. I really couldn't find an explanation. ;)

I have seen that. You commented out a call, whose name I can't remember
at the moment. The call is now supported, so I put it back in place.

Because it's part of an update. Because such update is not an easy task
(the compiler currently resides in the EFS file - if you copy a new
version of the compiler in a directory in the Linux tree, then you always
have to start Elate from that very directory). Because tests need to be
done. Etc. etc.
Rushing out things only creates more problems (e.g. lots of people saying
"your new internal compiler chokes if I declare a long variable, how
could you miss THAT?").

Sorry for the delay. Quake took more time than expected. ;)
