A bit more debugging advice. Its better to run "gcc -O -Wall".  This
detects (some) use of uninitalized local variables which "gcc -Wall"
does not - I assume because some flow analysis is not done without -O.

Even better is to follow Don Carr's advice and use stubs for
hardware-specific code and compile and test on x86 where you can use
valgrind and gcc -fmudflap to pick useful classes of bugs automatically.
