That's a silly question... Of course it does, it's not gcc's decision to
make. If gcc were to act in a way that is fundamentally broken from the
platform specification it would be utterly useless as a compiler --
calling any system function or anything else built by the native tools
would have wrong arguments, structs would have different layouts, you'd
get all kinds of random crashes.
Hmm, true... bleh. Bummer that even gcc is stuck with Microsoft's
decision making.
