Note: When using the gcc compiler, a small modification of the configuration file /etc/FSconfig may be required:

• in the CCNAME line, replace the "cc" entry with gcc
• in the PREOPTIONS line, add the keywords -fwritable-strings -fPIC to read similary to PREOPTIONS:-Dyour_used_system -fwritable-strings -fPIC
