I think what Georg was saying (am I following this thread right) is
something along the lines of:

"Hey! Wise up, punk! You need #include <stdio.h> if you expect to use
printf()"

=)

gcc is complaining about the prototype for printf() being missing,
isn't it?

On the other hand, if this were really the case I don't see how this
program could produce any kind of executable, unless I missed
something back there. Hm.
