`exit(n)' and `return n' from `main' are equivalent.  The program has a
"return code" which is passed to its parent, and this is either the
value passed to `exit' or the return value of `main'.  In fact, if you
look at the startup code, you'll see this:

exit(main(argc, argv, environ));

or something equivalent.

In GCC 2.8.1 the name of the standard C++ library was changed from
`libstdcx.a' to `libstdcxx.a', and RHIDE doesn't know this yet.  See the
file `gnu/gcc-2.81/problems.txt', which explains how to fix it.
