Alas, I know from experience that Microsoft's C compiler does not 
initialise global variables (to make it faster one assumes) which has led 
to hours of debugging.

If u-boot has decided that going without Microsoft compiling support is 
A-OK, then that is A-OK with me too. :)

This I understand. Even if what came in from legacy has yet to be cleaned, 
there is no reason to allow more filth in :)

Understood, clean enough to eat of is the goal.
