I used gcc 3.0.2 building hugs. Sadly upgrading to a newer version can
probably break some of the tools we compiled.

Due to my employer's strict internet access policy, I cannot use the cvs
command; there is another way to get the latest source?

[vezzoli@web:885] ffi ->ffihugs -P{Hugs}/libraries/:{Hugs}/oldlib +G
+L"test.c"  +L"-v" Test.hs 
Reading specs from
/usr/local/extra/gcc-3.0.2_sol8/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.0.2/specs
[many lines follows]

It seems that ffihugs uses the same compiler I used to build hugs (gcc
3.0.2).
