I think arithmetic on void pointers is easily handled with typecasts.
Zero length arrays can often be changed to length 1 arrays and the
corresponding code modified (within #ifndef __GNUC__ of course).

If you have reasonable patches that make kaffe more ANSI-friendly
we can commit them.

As for assembler code, that's a harder problem.

What is the possibility of getting gcc for your target platform?
