Well, 2.7.0 is about on par for that... its ancient >;).

I'd suggest you install the later egcs version based on GeekGadgets if you
want UNIX compatibility (well, kind of), and set yourself a HUGE FREAKING
STACK(tm).

If you do not care about trying to retain compatibility, check out VBCC on
Aminet, a snippit from the readme:
(http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/dev/c/vbccm68k.readme)
vbcc is a free portable and retargetable ANSI C compiler.
This archive contains the compiler, preprocessor, assembler, linker,
frontend, message browser, startup codes, C-libraries, amiga.lib
replacements as well as several other tools for 68k.
This gives you a complete system that allows to develop programs in
ANSI C as well as Amiga-specific programs (provided you obtain the
OS-includes) running on 68k.
