I didn't say "old compilers", either. I understood this /feature/
to be largely /obsolete/; perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps it depends
on the scope of the "largely".

Most people program PCs most of the time,

I beg to differ. Most people I know programme functionality not
hardware.
And I betcha the number of salaried embedded programmers still
outweighs wintelers.

I would agree. The thing is most embedded SW people tend to also have a background in hardware and don't hang around in SW groups because of the PC bias.
