 You need gcc version 2.0 or later to compile gforth.  Recommended:  You need gcc version 2.0 or later to compile gforth.
 gcc-2.95.* (other versions produce slower code).  
   
 To use the new C interface, you need to install the ffcall libraries  For the (documented) libcc.fs C interface you need a C compiler at
 before configuring Gforth.  You can find them on  run-time.
   
   For the (undocumented ) lib.fs C interface you need to install either
   the ffcall libraries or the libffi library.  Libffi comes with recent
   gccs, ffcall can be found on

   On many architectures (exceptions: 386, PPC, MIPS, Alpha) you need gdb
   at run-time in order for the disassembler to work.

 The ac_cv_sizeof_... variables give the sizes of various C types;  The ac_cv_sizeof_... variables give the sizes of various C types;
 ac_cv_sizeof_char_p is the same as "sizeof(char*)" in C code. The  ac_cv_sizeof_char_p is the same as "sizeof(char*)" in C code. The
 ac_cv_c_bigendian variable gives the byte order.  ac_cv_c_bigendian variable gives the byte order.  The skipcode
   specifies how to skip 16 bytes in the code (use "skipcode=no" to
   disable skipping and dynamic native code generation).
