40 but what if we have a too-smart C compiler that actually
41 gets us down to this branch? I suppose that if we have a C
42 compiler that is that smart, we're doomed to miscompile the
43 runtime anyway, so we won't get here. Still, it might be
44 good to have "set -e" in the various scripts so that we can
45 exit with an error here and have it be caught by the build
46 tools. -- CSR, 2002-11-24
