[Coco] MW-C Cross compiler bug - Solved

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

Can't tell you because i've never developed in C for coco before.

The cross-c compiler allows you much larger files to compile, and you
just have to type make on pc. looking the error log on vcc coco is a
problem.

But this cross compiler generates tons of errors when it get one...
