Hi David,

Sending to the whole list this time.

I normally add a special rule to my makefile to produce list files. I
use the following options:

%.cod : %.c FORCE
        $(ECHO) "Listing $< ..."
        $(Q)$(COMPILE.c) -gstabs -Wa,-ahdlms=$@ $<

This snippet was from my own makefile that I use for building and
probably isn't entirely compatible with whatever you're using.

By default, the compiler is setup to use 16 bit ints. The C language
requires that the & operation promote both sides to ints.

Using the -mint8 option will produce smaller code (but only have 8 bit ints).

All of the above :) Information like this is normally buried deep and
often requires connecting multiple tidbits together.
