That's why I put a question mark in the subject. The problem I encountered is that I couldn't run gcc over files in a directory which belonged to a group my I was in. I hope you'll too find it quite surprising. Be it POSIX-compliancy or not, I believe following what gcc thinks is compliant would be useful. Samuel
