It is inappropriate here. We discuss the _portable_ C language, as
defined in the ISO standards. The moment you have to mention a
particular compiler or system it doesn't belong here. I think you
had the right milieu in the first place, but are too verbose. Cut
things down to something compilable that exhibits the problem and
is under 100 lines.
