World domination, what else?

I'm not sure, but I think my latest version of Metrowerks has the same issue.

In any case, using "finally" eliminates the possibility of compiling the core as C++,
regardless of the compiler being used.

I thought I remember seeing a thread on the subject of C++ compilation somewhere.

So, the suggested Errno class hack would work, except I still have to change
all the finally's. I suspect there are other issues with C++ compilation that I am
not aware of.

I'm not proposing anything specific here, just rambling. I need to answer your
other post.
