Known portability issues

None as of September 2007

Portability issues fixed subsequent to the release of SPEC CPU2006 V1.0

• In V1.1 of CPU2006, renamed _getopt_internal to getopt_internal to avoid possible name clash (user functions are not supposed to start with underscore).
• In V1.1 of CPU2006, added explicit inclusion of cstring header file.
